Placement case studies
English-Speaking Governess Placement - Monaco
Caroline recently supported a family based in Monaco seeking an experienced English-speaking governess to support the academic development of their two school-age children. The family required a candidate with strong educational experience, excellent English language skills, and the ability to work within a highly structured household environment. Caroline conducted an international search and shortlisted candidates with both teaching experience and private household backgrounds. Following interviews and a trial period, the family successfully hired a governess who now supports the children’s academic progress while integrating smoothly into the family’s lifestyle in Monaco.
High-Profile ROTA Nanny Placement - London
Caroline managed a search for a high-profile London family seeking an experienced ROTA nanny able to travel regularly with the household. The role required a candidate with previous experience in rotational nanny positions, discretion, flexibility, and confidence supporting children within a busy international schedule. Caroline identified and presented several highly qualified candidates before coordinating interviews and trials. The placement was successfully secured with a nanny who now works within a two-week rota, travelling with the family between London and international destinations.
