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.

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.

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.

🚩🚩🚩🚩
A strong dual nanny team is required for a busy charter yacht supporting three young children.
This is a fast-paced, hands-on role where confidence, organisation, and the ability to work collaboratively are essential. 24/7 care is required.
Suitable candidates will have solid experience with similar age groups, a calm and proactive approach, and a strong awareness of safety, particularly around water.
Previous superyacht experience, or completion of my Superyacht Nanny training, is required.
If you meet the above criteria, based in Europe (must have right to work and be no more than 2hr flight from Nice) and are available for the full dates, please email me to apply.
The realities of securing Superyacht nanny work!
My DMs are always open if you’d like to chat through how I can help you.
The summer season is truly just around the corner now. Are you ready for a successful summer?
Yes the job market looks a little bit different now, but there is still oodles of work out there!
Hiring a superyacht nanny isn’t the same as hiring “just a nanny” and getting it wrong can impact the charter experience for children, parents and crew!
Here’s what to consider:
• Experience - in terms of: ultra high net worth clients, travel nannying, superyacht experience
Life onboard is fast-paced, ever-changing, and space-limited. Not every nanny can operate in that environment.
• Police background clearance, childcare qualifications, paediatric first aid
These are all non-negotiables!
• Understanding of UHNW expectations
Discretion, presentation, and knowing when to step forward (or step back) is everything.
• Safety awareness
From water safety to situational awareness, this isn’t optional on a yacht. In the event of an emergency, how many children can a nanny get to the muster station (the place you need to go in an emergency)!!
• Ability to work within a crew
This is a fully staffed environment. The nanny needs to collaborate seamlessly, not operate in isolation.
• Energy, flexibility & stamina
Long days, changing plans and busy itineraries… they need to keep up without compromising care.
• Child-centred approach
At the heart of it, are the children safe, engaged, and genuinely happy?
Most hiring mistakes come down to one thing: choosing someone who looks good on paper, but isn’t right for this environment.
If you’d like support finding the right fit from someone who knows exactly what profiles will excel onboard (not just the available one), please get in touch!

AMSTERDAM HOUSEHOLD ASSISTANT & NANNY JOB
This is not a sole charge nanny role, it’s a hybrid household assistant / nanny position, working alongside an experienced nanny/PA who already has a great dynamic with the family.
What stands out about this role:
· A genuinely collaborative household (nanny/PA, cleaners, family all working together)
· Clear structure and support — you’re not expected to do everything alone
· A focus on organisation, upkeep and attention to detail, rather than heavy cleaning
· A busy but calm environment, with mum on maternity leave initially
The children are active, creative and out at school/nursery/activities, so your role is more about supporting the flow of the home, with childcare as and when needed.
They’re open on experience level, the priority is finding someone who is:
· Proactive and organised
· Comfortable taking direction and working as part of a team
· Happy in a hands-on, supportive role
Based in Amsterdam Oud Zuid (near Vondelpark)
Cycling (bakfiets) is part of daily life
Occasional travel is a bonus, not essential
Relocation support can be discussed
Looking for a 12–18 month commitment
