"It isn't all hunky dory - but what job is? For me seeing the child progress and develop is the best thing about the job and the most rewarding"
Stephanie has been a
foster carer for six years and has recently joined a
specialist scheme caring for children aged 10 plus with
challenging behaviour:"Fostering is an amazing way of giving something back. You need a good sense of humour and to be able to deal with different people in different circumstances. You also need plenty of patience. I think in this job you may not know if something is working at the time but a day or so later a child makes a comment and you realise what you have done has worked - it's such a feeling of achievement."
