Every meal you are at the table always make an
effort to pack up the table
Many governesses have their own house and for a
part of the time care for themselves.
When this is the case it is hard to gauge how much to help around the
house. My policy is for every meal I am
at the table I always help setting or packing up the table. I also make sure I take care of anything
around my own cottage and schoolroom…I.E. watering and weeding garden, sweep
paths, tidying up.
