I’m Ella Peters — founder of Superyacht Nanny.
My decade-long career has taken me around the world caring for children at sea — and today I use that expertise to support families, brokers, yacht managers, and nannies in creating safe, seamless, and extraordinary charters. Through tailored childcare consultancy, CPD-accredited training, and role referrals, I help ensure children’s experiences onboard are every bit as exceptional as the adults’.
My work has been featured in Business Insider and recognised across the industry, including a finalist for British Nanny of the Year and a nomination at the Women’s Yachting Awards and Dockwalk Crew Creator Awards (all 2025).
I’m passionate about raising the standard of childcare and ensuring little ones enjoy unforgettable experiences at sea.
Trusted network of highly experienced childcare professionals — from Norland nannies and Montessori specialists to maternity nurses and watersports experts. Whether onboard or on land, each brings discretion, expertise, and a deep understanding of UHNW family life.

People often tell me I am so lucky to do what I do. I firmly believe luck is the combination of hard work and opportunity.
... plus these exciting things mostly don`t come at quite the perfect time.
Every big step I’ve taken in this industry… yachting, childcare, travel, building two businesses… has happened when life was already overflowing. And somehow, every time, I found a way to make it work.
That’s why I’m so passionate about supporting others through these crossroads.
Because I’ve been the nanny that has probably faced the same struggles and challenges (not engough work, too much work, too many other things, personal lives) you are sitting with right now. I’ve been the stewardess learning the industry from scratch. I’ve been the person trying to figure out how to say yes to something huge without letting everything else fall apart.
If you’re navigating big decisions, trying to move into UHNW childcare, or building a career that doesn’t follow the “normal” path… I get it. Truly.
My coaching isn’t fluffy motivation (if you know me, I really will tell you how it is and help you buckle up best) it’s practical support, strategy, and someone in your corner who understands exactly how fast this world moves.
If you’re standing in front of one of those “how do I make this work?” moments, my inbox is always open.

Sometimes I forget how unusual this career path really is and how overwhelming it can feel when you’re trying to find your place in it.
For years I’ve worked in UHNW childcare across all sorts of environments, and the thing I’ve come to love most is helping other people step into this world with clarity and confidence. Not because it’s glamorous, but because it’s meaningful, challenging, always dynamic and genuinely life-changing when you have the right support.
I know how confusing it can feel when you’re trying to break in, level up, or transition from one role to another. I know the self-doubt, the “am I missing something?”, the quiet frustration of feeling like you spend a lot of your time flying blind!
You’re not missing anything.
You just need someone who understands the landscape and can walk you through it honestly, safely, and without gatekeeping.
If you want real guidance on building a UHNW childcare career that actually fits who you are, I’m here. Send me a message anytime. 💛

From daily routines to once-in-a-lifetime moments, this episode dives deep into the realities (and magic) of childcare on the water.
