I just received a phone call from DHS today asking
me to do Respite care for a sibling set of 4 girls ages 6,7,8 & 12 for 3 days later this week. The other foster care provider has to pay me out of her foster care check. She is bringing clothing, and meds and I'm providing all the food. I will get a total of $150. They go to school all day long on Thurs and Fri. They get breakfast and lunch at school so I only have to feed them 3 meals and then snacks. I already have 3 children in the home...2 fd's and 1 bio d so I'll have 7. That's a load! It's only for a few days though so I know I can handle it and, at least, I got notice. With the other sibling group I got I only had 30 minutes notice and there were 4 of them as well. There was not enough food in the house to feed them supper so we had to order pizza.
