Nanny
The Nanny's role is similar to the Governess, but may not have a formal education or be able to serve as a tutor. Our Nannies must have at least four years of high-level, formal experience working with a family, and great references. A Nanny may also serve as a babysitter when needed.
Tutor
Private, part-time tutors are available for your child's specific educational needs. Tutors are often times hired as part-time employees and regularly participate with the children's educational development throughout the school year.
