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.

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
A lovely opportunity in Bodrum for a nurturing, experienced nanny to support a one-year-old onboard a 49m motor yacht.
Charter dates: 25 June - 2 July
This role requires someone who is:
– Nurturing and proactive
– Confident with routines, water safety and early years care
– Experienced in superyacht roles or has taken my Superyacht Nanny Course
- Private cabin but will be required to do evening babysitting (so little one might be with you some nights)
Only nannies who meet all requirements will be considered.
I’m looking forward to receiving your applications!
Working with a mentor is game changing and it is a no-brainer when you are serious about your career!
There are so many benefits to having expert support in your corner and it will fast track you to the professional life you dream of.
There really is no need to ‘trip over’ the same things I have, so let me teach you how to thrive and be your professional cheerleader.
My coaching sessions are online and we can do one or as many sessions as you’d like.
DM me to get started! I can’t wait to support you!
The National Nanny Association Petition is LIVE!
After months of campaigning, conversations, and pushing for change, our petition to regulate home-based childcare has officially been approved by UK Parliament.
This is a huge step forward… but now the real work begins.
This campaign follows devastating cases where children have lost their lives while in home-based care. Our thoughts remain with those families, and we believe change is needed to help prevent future tragedies.
Right now in the UK, nannies, maternity nurses and tutors are not regulated.
That means:
– No mandatory DBS checks
– No consistent safeguarding standards
– No formal accountability
Yet these professionals are trusted with the most important thing in the world – our children.
We believe that has to change.
This petition calls on the Government to introduce proportionate, meaningful regulation for home-based childcare.
We are not calling for unnecessary red tape—but for sensible measures such as:
-Mandatory DBS checks
-Basic safeguarding requirements
-Clear standards to protect children and support professionals
Importantly, we believe any future framework should be shaped with nannies, not done to them.
If we reach:
👉 10,000 signatures – the Government must respond
👉 100,000 signatures – it can be debated in Parliament
Please take 30 seconds to sign and share. Every single signature matters.
🔗 Sign here: https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/765427
And if this matters to you, please:
– Share this post
– Send it to friends, families, and colleagues
– Help us finally bring change to an unregulated sector
Together, we can make home-based childcare safer, more professional, and properly recognised.
