Job Description:
We are looking for a completely fluent, French speaking governess. Someone who will really focus on the development of the girls (aged 6 and 10), encourage reading, have stimulating conversations, help with homework, music practice, but also be able to take them out and have some fun.

It can be 4 days a week or 5 (salary of up to £65k is based on 5 days per week).
We are looking for someone who is educated and used to working with children in competitive schools but can balance that with being warm, kind and building a bond. This family has no pets. This family does not require a driver, but the school is a 20 minute walk away.
Requirements:
- Live within reasonable commute of Herne Hill (the family is close to Herne Hill station)
- 5+ years experience
- Educated, preferably to degree level
- Experience working with school aged children
- Experience of tutoring or supporting children with their education
- Up to date Enhanced DBS
- Recent Paediatric First Aid certificate
