    About this ebook

    Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

    #1 I had taken a week off after Tayo left, and before I began respite fostering I had a chance to clean and air out the bedroom. I took in Jemma, a five-year-old who had been with her carers for six months. Paula and Lucy, my daughters aged 16 and 18, were happy to help with Jemma.

    #2 I was asked to take care of Daisy, a 15-year-old, for two weeks. I knew from my own experience that it was difficult to find respite carers for teenagers, so I was excited to have her stay with me.

    #3 I had to set some ground rules for Daisy, while at the same time making her feel welcome. I made her a bedtime drink, and while Lucy and Paula took turns in the bathroom, I sat with her on the breakfast stools in the kitchen and gently explained that there were four of us in this house, and we all had to use the bathroom.

    #4 I had to accept that the social services thought it was best for Daisy, aged 15, to stay with her boyfriend’s parents. I was frustrated that I hadn’t been able to do my job properly and look after her.
