Re: Is it a job?

Fostering is classed as a job as you earn per child, you also have to sort out your own tax, the amount you get differs with each child as no 2 are the same by that i mean bedwetting/soiling or behaviour and everything else, I was fostered myself as a child and was also brought up mainly in the care system as some of my friends know on here. Fostering a child is not something to just walk into and think its the same as being a parent to the child, circumstances per child are different there is so many different reasons why a child is in care most people assume its because of behaviour but most of the time it isnt, you also have to take courses on different subjects to do with fostering and childcare as this is extremely important as there is so many things to look out for, its not a job that you should do for the money as alot of people are in it just for the money, anyway if you feel that you really want to help foster a child and give them a good start in life then fostering is the job for you, i hope that more people become interested in fostering
