My daughter was with Jo for two years and she loved every minute. She referred to Jo as "my Jo". Every day would be "am I going to my Jo's today"?
My daughter went through a lot of changes personally during that time and Jo was a constant and reliable presence and a source of comfort for my daughter (and for me!) throughout. She was a home from home for my daughter and I could relax every day knowing she was so well cared for. I received regular photos and updates through what's app so I could see what she was getting up to during the day.
Trousers which were too big would come home neatly sewed into little tucks, dirty clothes would come home washed. Food was healthy and plentiful.
Jo took her to zoos and farms, parks and soft play and had a wealth of toys both indoors and outdoors for them to play with. The activities and play time adapted accordingly as she got older.
Craft work was second to none with beautiful artwork and gifts created over Christmas, Easter, mother's day father's day and birthdays.
Thea was happy every minute she was at Jo's and I know she misses her now.
I'll always be thankful to Jo for everything she did for my daughter and for me during those two years, for the care and warmth and attention she provided.
