Superyacht Nanny
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.

So You Think You Don’t Need Professional Strategy & Mentoring?
How much of yourself should you actually share in your business?
It’s something I’ve gone back and forth on a lot.
Because on one hand, people work with me partly because they know who I am, what I care about and what I stand for.
But equally, this is a business. I’m here to provide a service, not document every part of my life online.
I don’t think there is one perfect answer.
But I do think building a career or business that feels like *you* matters.
And that’s actually one of the things I want people to think about in my Nanny Business Ideation Masterclass next week.
Not just, “What could I sell?”
But:
Why do I want to build this?
What kind of work do I want to be known for?
What kind of life am I trying to create?
Because a good business idea should support the life you want, not become another career you eventually want to escape from.
22 September, 7:30pm UK time. Recorded if you can’t join live!
Superyacht Nanny started as an idea in my head.
I knew there was a gap. I knew I had experience and knowledge I could do something with. But turning that into an actual business was a completely different challenge.
And I think there are SO many nannies sitting on ideas like this.
You might have spent years becoming brilliant at what you do, but that experience doesn’t only qualify you for your next nanny role. It could become a specialist service, a product, a consultancy, an agency, a community, a training programme… or something that doesn’t exist yet.
That’s a huge part of why I’m running my Nanny Business Ideation masterclass.
I want more nannies to recognise the value of what they know and think bigger about what their careers could look like. Not because everyone needs to become an entrepreneur, but because we should know how many options our experience can create for us.
On Tuesday 22 September, 7:30–9pm BST, we’re going to take those “maybe one day…” ideas and actually start pulling them apart.
What are you good at? Where is there a genuine need? Who would pay for it? What could the business model look like? And most importantly, how do you move from thinking about it to actually doing something with it?
If you’ve had an idea sitting in your head for months (or years!), this is for you.
Come and get the cheerleading you need to move towards your career dreams!
Creating a work life that works for me is so important! I love what I do with work but I also love to live outside of work!
Soon I will be heading to Antarctica solo. I am super excited for the trip and will even be camping one night out on the ice!!
This trip will mean I have visited every continent before my 30th birthday… and I am REALLY excited to see penguins in their natural habitat! My favourite animals are gentoo and chinstrap penguins, plus a Commerson’s dolphin (an endangered dolphin species with similar colouring to a panda!).
So, I have quite a few exciting work things going on ahead of this trip. A key feature being my masterclass series. The first one is all about building out your nanny business idea and how to bring it to fruition.
I am ALSO launching the ACCOUNTABILTIY LAUNCHPAD so that you can seriously bring these ideas to life and actually realise your dreams .
We will build out the foundations of your concepts and you will actually get moving with them (and not just keeping all this brilliance bottled in your brain).
Spaces are very limited
You’ll have x2 sessions with me and lots of Whatsapp support
It’s 6 weeks, each with a theme to work through
We go at your pace… so the more committed you are, the more impactful results we create
DM me for info on how it can work for you. I’ll be sharing more info on this all shortly!
See you later at the community call!
Everyone is welcome and it is a really lovely time to round up the summer and connect with others who probably feel a few of the same things you do!

I’m thrilled to share that I’ve been shortlisted in the LUX Global Excellence Awards!
My work has grown into training, consultancy, community, speaking and work with families and businesses across the luxury and UHNW space.
To have that work recognised alongside businesses operating at a global level feels incredibly exciting... particularly at a time when Superyacht Nanny is evolving far beyond where it began.
Very grateful for the recognition, and even more excited about what I’m building next.
A favourite question of small people - but why?
Why is this work important and why are we currently leaving so many opportunities on the table?
It isn’t quite yet the end of the summer for me, but this is a good depiction of my summer so far! Plus I’ve enjoyed a great mix of London (home) based consultancy and role referral work.
This summer has been fun - wonderful children that I see summer after summer, beautiful boats, cool crews, incredible nannies and simply working with people who are aligned - championing best practices in the industry, so it is a better place for us all.
Thank you to everyone has been a part of it!
There has been a lot more balance in my summer, and over the last couple of years I’ve really been serious with myself about what I want and where I want to go with Superyacht Nanny. It has transformed how incredible my work / life balance and this summer truly has been one for the books.
So two things:
1. Come and join us next Tuesday for the free community call. It is friendly and informal - aka a really great way to round off your summer
2. I am launching something very soon to help you stay accountable to yourself in creating the work-life you dream of (I’m talking about more than just making 6 figures)
Send me a DM if you’d like the free ticket link for the community call!
….. and I will do another summer round up when my summer actually ends…. as it’s not done yet!
A big part of why I do all of this is because I genuinely care about making the nanny industry better for everyone.
Better connected. Better informed. More supportive. More professional. And a place where people feel they can actually ask questions, share what they’re experiencing and learn from one another.
That’s exactly why I run the Superyacht Nanny Community Calls. There’s no presentation and no masterclass agenda. It’s simply an hour for us to come together and talk properly about what’s happening in the industry.
We might discuss the current job market, challenges you’re navigating, industry expectations, training, career development, opportunities, rates, networking…. or something completely different that somebody brings to the call.
I’ll bring some topics, but the conversation is shaped by you.
And you absolutely do not need to be an established superyacht nanny to join. Whether you’re already working as an au pair, in UHNW households and travel childcare, or you’re trying to understand how to break into this world, you are welcome - as are agency owners etc!
I think industries improve when we close the knowledge loops, build genuine professional networks and help each other raise the standard.
This is one small way I can help create more of that.
