My client is seeking someone who thinks differently, a natural communicator and teacher and someone who can engage her son in all types of learning from studying books, to studying the stars or the various cultures and people you meet on your travels with the family. The boy is very intelligent and possesses a wonderfully inquisitive mind and therefore we seek a Governess who can understand and encourage his development.
