About Me
Hi, we are a friendly and welcoming family based in Rochester. I’m Henry, my wife is Giulia, and we have two wonderful daughters, Hope (7) and Rebecca (3).
We value kindness, routine, and creating a happy and safe environment for our children. Our girls are friendly, respectful, and playful. They enjoy activities such as colouring, reading, and watching movies, and love spending quality time with each other.
As working parents, we are looking for someone trustworthy, kind, and reliable who can support us with occasional emergency cover and agreed childcare days.
We believe in clear communication, mutual respect, and making sure everyone who supports our family feels comfortable and appreciated.
My Requirements
We are mainly looking for someone who can support us with emergency childcare cover and occasional agreed days when both parents are working.
The role is primarily supervision and ensuring the children are safe, comfortable, and settled until one of us returns home. This may include light activities such as colouring, reading, playtime, or watching a movie.
Household requirements are straightforward: we kindly ask for no smoking, no alcohol, and no inappropriate language or swearing in the home or around the children.
Any further expectations, routines, and arrangements will be discussed together in person to ensure everyone feels comfortable and clear on what is needed.

Anthonia’s service was extremely valuable to us as a working family needing reliable help with our children.
From the beginning, she was reliable, punctual and professional. She was never late when collecting the children, which gave us great peace of mind when organising our work and family commitments.
One thing we particularly appreciated was the communication. Anthonia regularly kept us updated and sent us lots of photos and videos of the children, so we always knew they were safe and well looked after.
We have been really pleased with the overall service she provided and with the care and reliability she showed towards our children.
The only downside for us was that we weren't able to use the government Tax-Free Childcare scheme with her, where eligible families can receive a government top-up towards their childcare costs. This would have made the arrangement even more financially convenient for us as a working family. However, this doesn't take anything away from the quality of care and service Anthonia provided.
Overall, we had a very positive experience and would happily recommend Anthonia to other families looking for someone reliable, caring and trustworthy to help with their children. Highly recommended. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
