I’m asked sometimes if it’s normal for a nanny to wear uniform while working onboard.
I’d say sometimes yes and sometimes no!
There is definitely benefits to both. Wearing uniform means you don’t need to think what to wear and don’t potentially damage or loose your own clothes in laundry. But wearing uniform also makes you so much more of a stand out when going ashore with the family.
Do you like wearing uniform?

Today sleep expert Edina shares her tips and advice!
One of the most common concerns when travelling with children is sleep.
But in practice, children are often far more adaptable than we think… particularly when a few key anchors remain consistent.
After years working across yachts, hotels, villas, and international travel environments, one thing becomes very clear:
Sleep is rarely about “perfect conditions”.
It’s usually about:
– light exposure
– routine
– food timing
– familiarity
– and regulation
In this blog article, Edina breaks down practical strategies that support sleep while travelling, grounded in both sleep science and real-world experience.
