We have thoroughly enjoyed sharing the stories of our foster carers in our Voices of Fostering podcast, and in this episode, we take you through a day in the life of a foster carer! Host Helen sits down with Corrina, a primary school teacher who, alongside her husband, began fostering during the pandemic. They are now providing long-term care to two boys attending senior school.
In this episode, Corrina opens up about their motivations for fostering, the fostering process, and, most importantly, the everyday realities of life as a foster carer – from their morning routines to their bedtime rituals. This is a fantastic episode for anyone curious about the day-to-day life of fostering.
