D_Ocean Household Staffing 

A Governess is one of the most valuable professionals within a luxury household—providing high-level education, structure, and personal development support for children.

​

​

Our Governesses uphold exceptional standards of discretion, empathy, and professionalism. Because of this, our clients trust us to place individuals capable of shaping children into confident, well-mannered, academically strong young adults.
