About Elite Educational Development

Hand-matched tutors, governesses & household staff for HNW & UHNW families. Discreet, fully vetted. Long-term partnerships.

Founded in 2010, EED places exceptional nannies, governesses and household staff with VIP and UHNW families worldwide.

Our clients include royal households, internationally recognised public figures, and ultra-private family offices and global business principals. We work with high-net-worth and ultra-high-net-worth families across the UK, Europe, the Middle East, the US & Asia — every search hand-matched to the family’s lifestyle, residences, and educational priorities.

Each candidate is personally interviewed and fully referenced. Every placement is treated as a long-term partnership, not a transaction, and our work is conducted with absolute discretion.

We support families across multiple residences, complex travel schedules, and international education routes — whether the brief is a full-time governess, a senior tutor preparing children for Common Entrance, 11+, 13+ or US boarding, or staffing a principal residence and accompanying travel team.

The process is the same in every case: careful listening, a considered shortlist, and a relationship that lasts long after the placement is made.
