Job Description

Educated Households is a higher-tier household staff agency, based in London, placing élite educated private staff with VIP & UHNW families in the Middle East and worldwide:

Our very prominent Clients based out in Doha, Qatar, are in need of a Governess/Personal Assistant/Butler to orchestrate the daily life of their 10-year-old daughter and to stand as an inspirational Chaperone to the little girl. The Candidate sought will also need to support the mother and the child as a PA & Butler.

This VVIP family has a stunning residence situated nearby the beach in Doha and will provide the Governess/PA/Butler with a bedroom with ensuite, within the main residence, on a separate floor with use of the family's swimming pool.

The Governess/PA/Butler sought should be endowed with emotional intelligence to deal with all the facets of the life of the little girl, when it comes to the child's daily & social life as well as in regards to all the pedagogical matters surrounding academia.

The ultimate Governess/PA/Butler will exude natural-born authority, whilst not being domineering, in order to instil confidence in the child. With this in mind, the Governess/PA/Butler will resort to their soft skills, diplomacy and flair, to seamlessly get the child engaged, entertained and content.

This pivotal role encompasses working collaboratively as this is a fully staffed household: a House Manager and a Babysitter are already in place. The live-in Governess/PA/Butler will also work in sync with the parents and with any other private staff handpicked by the family.

This is a 6-day-a-week role. Yet, down time (most probably on 3 days over the 6-day weekly schedule) will be granted to offset this schedule.

Whilst travelling (not in residence), the Governess will be expected to share a room with the little girl.

Speaking one Eastern European language will be greatly advantageous to your application.

Adhering to confidentiality is non-negotiable in this role as the Principals do value their privacy.

The role is to start ASAP.
