• Keep the children's learning spaces, bedrooms, and belongings organised.

• Travel extensively with the family throughout the Bahamas, Europe, and other destinations.

• Communicate openly with the parents regarding each child's progress, routines, and wellbeing.

Ideal Candidate

The family is looking for someone who is:

• A qualified Primary or Early Years teacher, or an experienced Governess.

• Fluent in English.

• Conversational or fluent in French is preferred.

• An excellent swimmer and confident supervising children around water.

• A safe, confident driver with a clean driving record.

• The opportunity to explore multiple countries as part of the role.

• A respectful, supportive, and appreciative family environment.

• The chance to make a lasting impact on three wonderful children during an exciting chapter of their lives.

Family Values

The family believes childhood should be an adventure.

They value curiosity over perfection, growth over grades, and connection over competition.

They encourage their children to be kind, resilient, confident, and independent. They want them to ask questions, solve problems, take healthy risks, and learn from both success and failure.

They believe learning happens everywhere—in books, on hiking trails, at the beach, in museums, around the dinner table, while travelling, and through meaningful conversations with the people they meet.

They spend as much time outdoors as possible and believe fresh air, movement, sport, creativity, and unstructured play are essential parts of a happy childhood.

Above all, they hope to raise children who are curious about the world, compassionate towards others, grateful for what they have, and courageous enough to create a life they love.

If this sounds like the adventure you've been looking for, we would love to hear from you.
