Why governess?

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. Thus her charges are of school age, not babies.
gov·er·ness
A woman employed to educate and train the children of a private household.

I think nannies are also expected to help with the upbringing of the children. They're kind of supposed to be moms when mom isn't around. Nannies discipline, try to teach good manners, and help with homework. I don't think there are "governesses" per say, but I do think that nannies have greater responsibilities than you indicate.

A governess' duty is to teach the children on things they have to learn.
A nanny is someone who takes care of children and their needs. Like a mother to her child.
