Fit to govern
Wednesday, February 22, 2006
If an academic degree is in your bag of tricks, you could make big money as a governess with a new agency that opened last month, called, what else, The English Governess. The York-based agency will place childcare candidates with expatriate and foreign families around the world to deliver home education and teach the children in English. Founder Catherine Suckling, who has a scholarly and international background herself, says, 'Children taught by a governess over a period of years will generally become completely bilingual.' She's now interviewing for live-in positions paying upwards of 20,000 gross and places a premium on those with music or sports skills. For information see www.englishgoverness.com or phone 01904 651 804.
