Responsibilities of a French Governess

When hiring a French Governess, you will sign a contract outlining all her duties, working conditions, the schedule of activities with your child, and other details. Typically, a Governess focuses solely on the child’s upbringing and education. Tasks such as cooking, feeding, and cleaning the room are not part of her responsibilities.

However, certain terms can be customised to fit your specific needs. Be sure to specify your preferences when filling out the enquiry form, and we will find the right specialist for you. The possibility of accompanying the family on holidays can also be discussed separately.

Advantages of Hiring a French Governess

The tradition of inviting French Governesses into families dates back to the time of Peter the Great in Russia and continued until the mid-19th century. These educators taught children the French language, instilled good manners, assisted with lessons, and provided instruction in music and poetry, fostering a love for art and culture. Let’s explore the key advantages of hiring a French Governess—gouvernante de France.

French Language Education
No one can teach French better than a professional educator who is a native speaker. A French Governess will spend a significant amount of time with your child, taking into account their individual characteristics, interests, and educational goals.
Homework Assistance
A French Governess is knowledgeable in the basic subjects of the school curriculum. If your child attends a French school, the Governess can help oversee their homework and ensure it is completed correctly.
Child Development and Manners
A Governess is not just a teacher but also a mentor. She can teach your child commonly accepted norms of behaviour, politeness, punctuality, and etiquette.

French-Speaking Governess for Summer Holidays

Your child can learn French easily and effectively, even during the summer holidays, with the help of a professional French-speaking Governess. Gouverneur International, an international agency, assists families in finding and hiring educational staff. We will select candidates who meet your specific requirements and help you choose the best professional to work with your children.

French for Children During Holidays: Learning at Home and on Vacation

How can you teach your child to speak a foreign language as if it were their native tongue? Immersing them in a language-rich environment is still the most effective method. This environment can be created right in your home. Our agency will find a French-speaking Governess who will act as a mentor, educator, and teacher for your child.

A unique aspect of Gouverneur International's offer is that you can hire a French Governess for a short period, such as the summer holidays. Summer is not a time when children want to sit at a desk and memorise grammar. Therefore, learning French with a Governess will take place through games, sports, creative activities, outings, trips to the beach, and other daily activities.

A Governess from France will help improve your child's knowledge, correct their pronunciation, or even start learning French from scratch. Beyond that, she will become your child’s best friend and a patient mentor. She will discipline the child, maintain a structured daily routine, and teach social etiquette.

Where to Find a Good French Governess

Gouverneur International has been helping families find educational staff since 2008. When selecting candidates, we consider their qualifications, previous work experience, and references from other families. If necessary, we can find a specialist who can teach your children to play a musical instrument, draw, and more.

Even if you are looking for someone to work with your child for a short period, it is not advisable to leave it to chance. Not all native speakers from French-speaking countries are equipped to teach French. A suitable candidate should have proper language proficiency, knowledge of linguistic norms, and pedagogical skills to teach children effectively. Save time and effort—turn to Gouverneur International!

How to Choose a French Governess

A Governess will spend several hours a day with your child, so it is essential to select a professional with the right qualifications. We recommend considering the following factors:

Professionalism
The Governess should have a degree in a relevant field, typically at least a bachelor's. A certificate confirming completion of first aid courses is also highly recommended.
Experience
It's preferable for the educator to have prior experience in the profession, particularly working with families. Be sure to check references and testimonials from previous clients to ensure the candidate's suitability.
Personal Information and Character
It's crucial to verify that the candidate has no criminal record and possesses a valid health certificate. Don’t hesitate to ask questions to obtain all the necessary information to make an informed decision.
