What are the ups and downs for each age?
I'm a respite carer and have a 7 year old at the moment and I'm really enjoying having her. I'm approved for age 4 - 9 yrs and am just thinking about the future and what age I might look after.
I'm thinking I may enjoy looking after older children and may ask to be re-assesed for a higher age at some point.
Interested to hear from people who've looked after teenagers - it does seem a bit daunting.
I know I couldn't look after babies, and think you are all wonderful who do, I just couldn't cope with sleepless nights - again!
