A UHNW family based in Miami, Florida is seeking an experienced Italian-speaking Governess to join their fully staffed private household. The family has three children aged 9, 5, and 2, with the role primarily focused on supporting the two older children in their educational development, bilingual fluency, and cultural enrichment. This is a high-level position requiring discretion, emotional intelligence, and a refined understanding of international etiquette and the standards expected within a sophisticated, security-conscious household environment.
Key responsibilities include providing structured academic support aligned with school curricula, developing and implementing tailored learning plans, and fostering both Italian and English language fluency. The Governess will supervise homework, assist with projects and exam preparation, and create enriching activities that promote intellectual curiosity, creativity, and independent thinking. The role also involves reinforcing positive behaviour, manners, and global etiquette, while coordinating closely with parents, teachers, and household staff to ensure consistency in approach. Occasional domestic and international travel with the family is required.
Candidates must be a native Italian speaker with full professional fluency in English and hold valid U.S. work authorisation (no visa sponsorship provided). A background in Education, Child Development, Psychology, or a related field is essential, along with proven experience working in fully staffed UHNW or high-profile households. The ideal candidate will be polished, flexible, travel-ready, and highly discreet, with a strong understanding of confidentiality and professional boundaries in private family settings.
