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.
A CPD-accredited online course designed for nannies, childcare professionals, and crew. Learn how to secure roles, deliver exceptional childcare onboard, and confidently support UHNW families at sea.
Book a 1:1 session tailored to your goals — from landing UHNW nanny roles to refining your CV, setting rates, or preparing for interviews. Gain insider guidance and strategies to take your childcare career to the next level.
The coaching was so in-depth, and Ella made sure to answer any questions that I had
Nanny Alice
She gave me so much useful information
Nanny BethElla clearly loves helping people and is so knowledgeable, she shares so much great advice and none of my questions felt too silly to ask
Nanny Georgia
Ella was patient, kind, and most importantly fun. She could be trusted to make sure the kids were not only safe on our trip but that they were enjoying their days.
Charter guest
As a superyacht nanny, I’ve learnt that the right toys don’t just keep children entertained. They create shared experiences, encourage confidence in the water, reduce pressure on parents and crew, and become the moments everyone talks about long after the charter has finished.
Not every inflatable is created equal, though.
When I’m asked what I recommend, FunAir is consistently at the top of my list because they’ve thought beyond the fun. From enclosed Sea Pools for younger children to modular water parks and slides for older guests, their products make it easier to create safe, engaging experiences for every age.
Whether you’re a captain, charter broker, crew member, nanny or planning a family charter, I hope it gives you a few ideas for creating those unforgettable moments.
Which one would you (or your kids) head for first?
Twenty years from now, children won`t remember what colour the jet ski was.
They`ll remember searching every deck with a pirate map while the crew whispered clues and a treasure chest appeared at sunset.
Luxury is remembered through experiences, not possessions.
That`s exactly why I created my ready-to-use Treasure Hunt.
Some of my favourite memories have been working with brilliant close protection teams. They’re calm, professional, endlessly observant and often the people quietly making sure everyone else can simply enjoy the day.
If you’re new to working with security, don’t be intimidated. Ask sensible questions, communicate your plans and remember you’re all working towards the same goal: keeping the family safe while creating a seamless experience.
