A dynamic family with homes in Dubai and London are seeking a Travel Nanny/Governess to join them and accompany their children on their global adventures. Their two children, aged 4 and 6, are spirited and love sports, swimming, and exploring. While their lifestyle is fast-paced, the parents value stability, emotional connection, and joy for their children.

They are also clear that they want their Nanny/Governess to thrive too. Days are structured around 6–8 hours with generous downtime, especially when parents are hands-on. Travel schedules are carefully managed so that the Governess can rest and adapt to new environments.

• Offering academic enrichment through play and project-based learning
• Coordinating children’s diaries and liaising with teachers, tutors, and household staff
• Planning engaging cultural and recreational activities during travels
• Encouraging resilience, manners, and emotional intelligence
• Providing stability and consistency in routines despite travel

• Early Years or Primary Education background desirable
• Strong swimmer and enthusiasm for sports/outdoors
• Highly adaptable and organised, with international travel experience
• Experience in UHNW households and fully staffed environments
• Calm, confident, and emotionally intelligent

At Quintessential Governess, we know that children thrive best with caregivers who feel valued and supported. This family embodies that ethos by offering respect, rest, and recognition of the Governess’s professional expertise.
