Once children are in Education or about to start school, families also consider a Governess. A Governess can carry out some Nanny duties however their focus is primarily on Education. Some families may employ a Nanny and a Governess to cover the Nursery Duties and the Educational side. The main differences are explained below:<\/p>\n<h2>A Nanny<\/h2>\n<p>A Nanny can care for children aged from newborn upwards and usually take over from a Maternity Nurse. The role of a Nanny would be to carry out all nursery duties which are listed below:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Feeding the children (Weaning, batch cooking, preparing fresh and healthy meals and following the parents dietary wishes)<\/li>\n<li>Keeping the children\u2019s areas tidy. This can include sterilising and putting away toys, keeping their bedrooms tidy and clearing up after each meal time.<\/li>\n<li>Developmental play<\/li>\n<li>Liaising with the children\u2019s school or nursery<\/li>\n<li>Arranging suitable classes and activities or play dates<\/li>\n<li>Potty Training if applicable<\/li>\n<li>Children\u2019s laundry<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>A Governess<\/h2>\n<p>A Governess can also be employed from any age however they are more commonly employed for children aged 4 years and upwards. They are usually recruited to focus on Education rather than Daily Nursery duties. Parents can hire a Governess to work alongside a Nanny or Nanny Housekeeper to cover all aspects of the Daily requirements.<\/p>\n<p>A Governess will:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Supervise Homework and create educational activities<\/li>\n<li>A Governess may focus on Etiquette, music, Art and linguistic skills.<\/li>\n<li>Liaise with the child\u2019s school to ensure they are up to date with the curriculum.<\/li>\n<li>Prepare the child for exams.<\/li>\n<li>Advise on table manners and speech<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The two roles can blend slightly however a family would usually need one or the other dependant on their child age and duties required.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nanny versus a Governess, the difference explained!
