Thinking about welcoming a Governess into your home?

At Fox & Cubs, we specialise in placing highly educated, multilingual governesses who combine academic excellence with a nurturing, structured approach to children’s development. A governess is more than a tutor — she becomes a mentor and role model, supporting your child’s intellectual, social, and emotional growth within the comfort of your home.

Whether your family is based in London, the Home Counties, or abroad, we introduce exceptional professionals with experience in private households, royal residences, and international schools. Our governesses bring calm authority, impeccable manners, and the ability to instil confidence and independence in children of all ages.

A Fox & Cubs Governess typically supports families with:

• Private, structured education following the British or International curriculum

• Homework supervision and daily academic routines

• Language development (English, French, or multilingual tutoring)

• Cultural enrichment through museum visits, reading, and creative projects

• Travel organisation and continuity of learning during school holidays

• Social etiquette, confidence, and communication skills

Each governess is carefully selected for her education, teaching background, and ability to adapt to the lifestyle and expectations of high-profile families.

Our consultants take the time to understand your family’s needs, from academic objectives to household dynamics, to ensure a seamless and lasting match.
