Can a young man do this job in Russia?
There was a personal ad where a wealthy Russian family wanted someone to teach English to the family full-time (live with them). Requirements were native speaker status with high degrees in languages, lingustics, etc. There wasn't any talk of having a teaching background, or even a degree in education. It all seemed legit to me, but I can't say anything for sure (I think it was through an agency in NYC). |
The thought has occurred to me as well. Seems to be dominated by the women though. |

Obviously it is dominated by women, but I clearly remember seeing the word "governor/governess", meaning men are eligible to apply.
It's also worth mentioning that a young man may be preferred in some cases.
I should have applied to that job (I love the Russian language and study it daily  ). |

When I was an au-pair in Stuttgart (Germany) I met a guy from France that was doing the same thing-taking care of children.
You could always try Bonne International to see if they place men. If you have good quals for taking care of children and even teaching English, then you might have a chance. |
