What is the difference between a governess, nanny, and a tutor?
Some households might use the terms tutor, governess, and nanny interchangeable, but there are differences.
Nanny
A nanny is hired to care for children of all ages. While a nanny could be a live-in position, most are not. They can have a wide range of duties: feeding, bathing, babysitting, and assistance with daily activities.
Tutor
A tutor only performs coaching and teaching tasks. They assist children of all ages with homework and other matters related to education.
Governess
A governess, essentially, is like an elite nanny and tutor rolled into one. They live with the family they work for and are in charge of all matters related to the raising of the child. A governess has very specialized training and usually holds a teaching credential and a master's degree in education.
A governess may homeschool a child, which means she would also be designing the curriculum. If the child attends a public or private school, then the live-in governess would tutor the child and create supplemental educational activities based on the family's needs.
