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.

Over the years I’ve seen the same pattern happen to many nannies
A role starts with good intentions and an informal agreement. Then gradually expectations shift.
Hours extend.
Travel becomes more complex.
Night cover appears.
Responsibilities expand.
Without a clear contract in place, it becomes very difficult to navigate those changes professionally.
That’s why I’ve created a seriously in-depth Contract Template that covers the nuances of self employed nanny roles.
It’s a detailed 11+ page editable contract designed specifically for UK self-employed nannies, including those working in travel roles and on superyachts.
It includes clauses covering things that often get missed in standard agreements, such as:
• paid travel time
• overnight responsibilities
• cancellation and deposits
• rest periods
• payment timelines
• scope of work
The aim is not confrontation. It’s simply to provide clarity and professional structure from the beginning of a role.
The presale price of £219 ends TONIGHT, after which the price will increase to £249.

Live-in Baby Nanny | London | month of April
A calm, emotionally intelligent, gentle nanny is sought to care for a six-month-old baby in London for the majority of April.

Montessori-inspired approach
Previous UHNW or travel experience required

This is a fantastic opportunity for a professional nanny who values trust, discretion and holistic baby care.
Hi! I know lots of you struggle with contracts and maybe don’t even have a legally bound one in place.
I’ve developed (with a legal team) a comprehensive contract for UK based self employed nannies. It covers so much more than other contracts I’ve seen as it’s tailored to the nuances of our UHNW private household world.
I’m pre-launching it currently for £219 and it will go live on the site for £249 (on 9 March)
If you’d like more info, please drop me a message or email ella@superyachtnanny.co
Why join the Community Call?
Because this industry can feel isolating — and it doesn’t have to.
The Superyacht Nanny community calls are a relaxed but genuinely valuable space to connect with other nannies, agencies and industry professionals who understand the realities of this work.
We share:
• Real job intel — who’s hiring and what’s actually working
• Honest experiences from UHNW, travel and yacht roles
• Practical insights and lessons learned
• Industry shifts and trends
It’s not formal training. It’s conversation, connection and perspective.
You leave feeling clearer, more informed, and reminded that you’re not navigating this space alone.
You don’t need to be a yacht nanny to join — if you work in, or are curious about, UHNW or travel childcare roles, you’re welcome.
Bring a drink, join the conversation, and meet people who genuinely understand this world.
Just a gentle reminder that my masterclass on Childcare in UHNW Households: Expectations, Boundaries & Professionalism is happening this evening at 7pm UK time.
If you work with high-net-worth families (or are moving into those roles) and sometimes feel unsure about expectations, boundaries, or how to handle situations professionally, this session is designed to give clarity and reassurance.
I’ll be sharing what has helped me stay trusted, rebooked, and genuinely happy in these roles long term — without burnout or over-compromising.
If you can’t join live, the replay will be available and a CPD certificate is included.
Details in bio or message me if you’d like the link.
