What our carers say about fostering

How fostering feels

“I love my work as a foster carer. It is a very rewarding job. I get excited about every new placement as each child is so different and brings new challenges. I think I learn from each child. Fostering can be a roller coaster of emotions bringing bad days as well as good. Sometimes the rewards can be a long time coming but they are well and truly worth it in the end.”
Janice Fishendon

“I feel privileged. I have often been told by others that they could not do what I do, but for me it has been absolutely the right thing.”
Zoe Snell

“I love being a foster carer. I genuinely feel loved and wanted. Even our naughtiest boy loved being with us. I like to be nurturing and this makes me feel useful and important in someone’s life.”
