London, UK & Overseas Governor & Governess Placements

Imperial Nannies are a  Governor and Governess Agency based in London, but place throughtout the UK & Overseas. A Governor or Governess is an excellent option for families who require full professional academic support. While this is an option for families with children aged 7 and older, we find some families would rather start earlier to ensure their child is fully supported throughout the academic year.

A Governess will take a particular interest in the child’s intellectual development while of course providing the necessary care and structure of your childrens’ every day needs. She will also teach self-awareness and creativity.
