Jenny, a foster carer who lives near Plymouth in Devon, tells us about how she balances working in a special needs school with being a foster carer.
She does not wish to give up working but has reduced her hours in order to have some time for herself and also be an effective foster carer.
Foster caring can be a career choice for some people but it can also be a welcome addition to part time work thanks to the allowances you receive.
