Featured:

A governess is a female employee of a family who teaches children within their home. In contrast to a nanny (formerly called a nurse) or a babysitter, she concentrates on teaching children, not their physical needs. Her charges are of school age, not babies.

In fiction

Several well-known works of fiction, particularly in the nineteenth century, have focused on governesses.
