English Nanny & Governess School (ENGS), founded in 1984 by Sheilagh Roth[1] provides childcare education and training. Its graduates are employed in the United States and around the world as nannies and governesses.[2]
The school was originally located on the campus of Case Western Reserve University, in Cleveland, Ohio. It was relocated to Chagrin Falls, Ohio, in 1992.
The school is licensed by the Ohio State Board of Career Colleges and Schools.
The curriculum consists of a three-month classroom instruction program that is accompanied by an in-home practicum program. Upon completion, graduates are awarded the title of "certified professional nanny" or "certified professional governess", through the American Council of Nanny Schools (ACNS).[3]

It has appeared in newspaper and magazine articles, including The Times, The New York Times and W, as well as on radio shows and television programs. The television shows include Good Morning America, Fox News, Larry King Live and Nightline.[5]
