Clique Private Staffing is delighted to present an exciting opportunity for an experienced Governess & Family Assistant to join a warm and welcoming family based in beautiful Aspen, Colorado.
This is a fantastic opportunity for a candidate who is passionate about child development and education whilst also enjoying the variety of supporting a busy family with the day-to-day running of their household.
The family have three wonderful daughters aged 3, 5 and 6. Each child has their own unique personality and individual needs, and the successful candidate will genuinely enjoy tailoring their approach to help each child thrive.
The eldest daughter enjoys being challenged beyond the classroom, while the younger girls benefit from nurturing, creative and engaging activities that encourage their confidence and development.
This is a hands-on family home rather than a fully staffed estate, so the ideal candidate will be happy to roll up their sleeves and become a valued part of everyday family life.
Key Responsibilities
- Supporting the children's educational development through engaging, age-appropriate activities.
- Encouraging curiosity, creativity and a genuine love of learning.
- School pick-ups and transportation to activities.
- Preparing healthy meals and snacks for the children.
- Organising children's bedrooms, wardrobes, toys and school belongings.
- Children's laundry.
- Running family errands and grocery shopping.
- Assisting with household organisation during school hours.
- Supporting with evening routines.
- Occasional domestic and international travel.
The Ideal Candidate
The family are seeking someone who is:
- Experienced caring for multiple children of different ages.
- Passionate about children's education and development.
- Warm, calm and emotionally intelligent.
- Highly organised and proactive.
- Confident working independently.
- Happy working within a relaxed, hands-on family environment.
- A confident driver with a valid driver's licence.
- Already based in Aspen or able to relocate independently (strongly preferred).
Whilst previous Governess experience would be welcomed, the family are equally open to experienced Nannies, teachers or childcare professionals with an educational mindset who enjoy supporting children's development beyond traditional childcare.
Working Hours

The children attend school during the day, allowing time for errands and household organisation.
The preferred schedule is Sunday through Thursday, with Friday and Saturday as days off.
One evening per week will typically be required.
Benefits
