WHAT IS A GOVERNESS? |
Governess Job Description - A governess is very
similar to a nanny (see NANNY job description) and
typically has primarily the same responsibilities. The main difference between a
nanny and a governess is that while a nanny will usually have at least a high school
diploma or equivalent, a governess will typically hold a Bachelor's degree.
Benefits - Offering benefits to an
employee is not required by law. Benefits may optionally be offered to all domestic
personnel types and when offered, makes the package being offered to a candidate
more attractive and may contribute to the longevity of their employment. Many candidates
do not expect or desire benefits while others do. This should be discussed directly
between families and candidates.
Schedules - All domestic personnel
position types registered at GoNannies.com must indicate their availability. They
may be available part-time or full-time or both, and may also indicate whether they
are available during the week, evenings, on occasion/as needed, etc. Look for how
a candidate has answered the "When Available" question to best determine their availability.
