“We find written communication helps,” said Sheilagh Roth, the executive director of the English Nanny and Governess School outside Cleveland, which has been in business for 25 years.
That can mean leaving a list of tasks for the day, but ideally it means drafting a written contract — or at least a detailed job description — explicitly stating the duties of the position, as well as the family’s obligations regarding vacation time, overtime, holidays and other basic matters that an employee needs to know. Ms. Roth requires a written contract when she places nannies with families.

The English Nanny and Governess School is by far the most professional service for finding the perfect nanny for any family. You can trust that candidates they submit will be fully trained and exceptionally qualified. I am delighted with the governess/nanny they found for my children, and I highly recommend them to anyone searching for a care giver for their family.

I am a Toy Maker whose hand painted toys are on Nicholodian Parents Connect. com and sold all over the world. My wonderful experience as a student at ENGS where I learned that play was true magic and that education starts at birth, made me a better Nanny, wife and mother.
I want to share my gift and make someone else's dream come true so 25% of order of the sales of The Playbox Day with Nanny will be donated to the school's scholarship fund.

". . . it does seem remarkable that there is no more authoritative, state-regulated certification available to guarantee the training of child care providers. “To wash hair and paint fingernails, you have to be trained and licensed,” pointed out Sheilagh Roth, who runs the English Nanny and Governess School in Chagrin Falls, Ohio
. . . “But the U.S. has no standards at all for private child care.”

Brianne has cared for our children for almost a year now. We have enjoyed every minute of her being with us and as part of our family. Brianne is a trustworthy, caring, loving governess who takes initiative and is incredibly flexible. All the children have developed a special relationship with her which is commendable considering there are boys (13 and 11) and girls (8 and 4). The boys seek out her advice and fill her in on their days and the girls relish in playing creative games and chatting to her ALL day long. She has found ways to connect with each one and understands their strengths and where she may need to push them along. She is patient with them all and is readily available for hugs and cuddles, especially with the girls. She has also spent a great deal of time working with Meghan on letters, numbers and writing and is finding fun ways to educate her. We could not be happier to have such a loving person with our family and caring for the children.
