We've been looking into fostering but it looks like we might have to put this on the back burner for a while longer . Unfortunately (but as we expected) the fostering team were very anti sharing DH & I being joint carers (we both work PT so always one of us with FC) so that would mean me stopping work altogether which we just can't afford without some other regular and/or reasonable income. We could cope with a couple of months but not long term and I definitely don't want to start only to stop a year down the line because we're skint!
I realise this is quite a personal question but is anyone able to offer any sort of hope idea what I might realistically earn as a foster carer? And how realistic is it to find & undertake PT work around fostering -mainly thinking between placements but also the odd evening/weekend shift (supermarket or similar) once you have a placement? I'm in the SE if that makes any difference.
Here's hoping ...
