           Nanny-Governess
        (Educational Nanny)

A Nanny-Governess is a highly educated childcare professional who combines the nurturing care of a nanny with the educational focus of a governess. This dual role is ideal for families who value both emotional support and academic development within the home environment.

​

While a nanny primarily focuses on daily care and routines, a nanny-governess plays a more active role in a child’s intellectual, social and cultural development. These professionals are often qualified in education, languages or early years development and are particularly well suited to school-aged children. They offer a thoughtful balance of warmth, structure and educational guidance, helping children thrive in a calm, well-supported setting.

​

A nanny-governess can be particularly valuable for families who wish to create a more enriching home environment, where learning is naturally incorporated into everyday life. Their role often extends beyond childcare to include fostering curiosity, confidence, independence and excellent manners, while ensuring each child’s routine and development are supported with consistency and care.

​

Key responsibilities may include:

• Providing high-quality care while promoting good manners, routine, independence and age-appropriate boundaries

• Supporting learning through tutoring, homework guidance and educational play

• Teaching languages, reading, writing and numeracy appropriate to the child’s level

• Planning structured activities, outings and cultural experiences

• Liaising with schools and parents to ensure continuity in the child’s education

​

A nanny-governess may work on a live-in or live-out basis, depending on the family’s preferences, and is especially sought after by VIP and international households seeking a well-rounded, enriching upbringing for their children. In many homes, they become a trusted and influential presence, offering both attentive care and a strong educational foundation tailored to the individual child.

          Maternity Nurse
   (Newborn Care Specialist)

A Maternity Nurse is an experienced newborn care specialist who provides expert, hands-on support to families during the crucial first weeks or months after a baby is born. Their role is to help parents feel supported and confident while ensuring the baby receives attentive, knowledgeable care during the early stages of life.

Maternity nurses are typically self-employed professionals and offer care according to their availability and preferred working pattern.

​

Support may include daytime care, overnight newborn care, hourly support or 24-hour live-in maternity nurse care, depending on the needs of the family. Many families value the calm guidance and reassurance a maternity nurse brings during the early weeks at home.

​

Some maternity nurses also provide overnight newborn care and monitoring, allowing parents time to rest and recover. Others may offer additional support for common newborn concerns such as reflux, colic, trapped wind and positional plagiocephaly (flat head syndrome), helping families feel confident and well supported during the early months.

Sleep Trainer / Sleep Consultant              (Baby & Toddler Sleep)

A Sleep Trainer (or Sleep Consultant) is a specialist who supports families in improving their baby’s or toddler’s sleep through gentle, structured routines. They assess the child’s current sleep patterns, sleep environment and family schedule, then create a personalised plan designed to encourage longer, healthier and more settled sleep, always in a way that feels aligned with the family’s parenting style.

​

Common tasks may include:

​

​

2) Virtual support
The sleep plan is delivered remotely, with follow-up by phone, WhatsApp or video call. The consultant monitors progress and adjusts the plan over an agreed period, providing flexible and convenient sleep support for babies and toddlers wherever the family is based.

Whether provided in person or remotely, sleep training support is designed to feel calm, bespoke and highly supportive, helping families achieve more restful nights and a better rhythm at home.

     Birth & Postnatal Doula

A birth and postnatal doula offers discreet, nurturing and highly personalised support to mothers and families throughout pregnancy, birth and the early postnatal period.

​

During the postnatal period, a doula may offer gentle support as parents settle into life with a new baby, helping to create a home environment that feels calm, supported and well held. This may include nurturing the mother’s wellbeing, encouraging rest and recovery, and offering practical reassurance during the early days of parenting.

​

A doula is not a medical professional or therapist, but a trusted source of calm, supportive guidance, offering thoughtful one-to-one care that feels personal, comforting and entirely bespoke. For many families, this level of support brings not only practical help, but also a greater sense of ease, confidence and emotional wellbeing during one of life’s most significant transitions.

A private chef typically oversees the full kitchen operation, from sourcing and supplier management to preparation, plating and service, while maintaining impeccable cleanliness, food hygiene and organisation.

​

A Cook may provide a more informal but equally valuable service, preparing family-style meals on a regular basis.

           Cleaner/Housekeeper

A cleaner or housekeeper helps maintain a home of the highest standard, ensuring each space is beautifully presented, impeccably cared for and effortlessly well kept. While both roles contribute to the smooth running of the household, a cleaner is typically focused on the thorough cleaning and presentation of the property, whereas a housekeeper provides a broader and more refined level of household support, overseeing the day-to-day upkeep of the home with care, discretion and exceptional attention to detail.

A household couple can offer a valuable combination of housekeeping, property care, cooking, driving and estate support, helping everything run seamlessly while maintaining high standards across the home.

​

In many placements, the roles are naturally divided according to experience and strengths. One partner may focus primarily on housekeeping, cooking, laundry and interior care, ensuring the home remains beautifully presented and well organised.
