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
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.

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.
The reason I get rebooked in UHNW roles isn’t because I’m the “best at childcare”.
It’s because I understand expectations early.
I manage boundaries professionally.
I negotiate clearly.
I communicate calmly.
I anticipate without overstepping.
And I protect myself.
That’s why I don’t burn out.
That’s why families stay with me until the children age out of needing childcare.
That’s why I’m trusted in complex, high-level environments.
Thriving long term in dream-worthy UHNW roles isn’t about being endlessly flexible. It’s about operating professionally.
That’s exactly what I’m teaching in tomorrow’s masterclass:
Childcare in UHNW Households: Expectations, Boundaries & Professionalism
If you want longevity, repeat bookings, and roles that feel exciting rather than exhausting, this is for you.
📅 Tomorrow
🕖 7pm UK time
🎓 Replay included
🎓 CPD certificate included
I won’t be hosting this masterclass again this year.

What are you doing to get your dream job?
The jobs I work on are ‘dream roles’ for a lot of people. And rightly so. They are incredible opportunities working with some of the most powerful people on the planet, having incredible work environments (villas, penthouses, hotels, superyachts, chalets!) and alongside exceptional teams of staff.
So, when you reflect on why you are not getting these jobs… what is holding you back? Do you deeply understand the nuances of these roles?
I am hosting a masterclass this Tuesday at 7.30pm UK time. (If you can’t make it live, buy a ticket and I will send you the on-demand version). In the 1.5hr long session I will be covering so many topics that will help you professionally unlock these opportunities.
To give you a flavour of what we will be discussing, topics include:
- How to show up professionally
- What it takes to succeed in these roles
- The unspoken expectations of clients
- Common mistakes and faux pas nannies make
- What you need to know that isn’t directly being shared about these roles.
This is the only time this year I will be hosting this masterclass, so get your ticket now. DM me (Ella) if you have any questions. The masterclass includes a Q&A at the end which is really important to me, so we can make sure that you are equipped with the info you need to know to thrive sustainably in these roles.
I can’t wait to see you on Tuesday!
PS this is some recent work snaps of mine!
PPS I still do UHNW temp roles myself as it matters to me that I am sharing the most up to date, relevant info with you. Plus I LOVE working with children!
I have the most incredible network of childcare professionals. Over the last years I’ve built up a community of the creme-de-la-creme of little people pros and now I support in connecting these nannies, maternity nurses, swim teachers, sleep consultants, rotas (and so many more) with top roles.
This is a recent piece of feedback I have had on my role referrrals. Hearing this really does make my heart sing! It’s what it is all about - connecting fantastic professionals to great roles.
If you would like my support in finding the right childcare for your needs, please get in touch!
Best, Ella
