A friend of mine used to be a governess  (actually  a  nanny  --  governess
implies  a professional teaching function rather than babysitting and light
housework).  As I recall, she was paid rather well.  $400/month  plus  full
room  and  board  (in  luxurious surroundings) was doing pretty well in the
late 60's.  She had more disposable cash than I did, at the time and I  was
making a pretty decent living myself.
