I can't praise Jo enough. My two children have been cared for by Jo and her mom for several years and it's like leaving them with your mom/big sister. My son was diagnosed autistic at the age of 3 and the support I received from Jo was outstanding. She came with me to visit potential schools, attended meetings with psychologists, speech and language therapists etc... And was always happy to listen, support and give advice. The work Jo did with my son at her home was above and beyond what was expected from her, despite his challenging behavior, Jo never showed if she was worn out by him and always included him wholly as part of the group but also spent time alone to give him that one to one support he needed. My children were always happy in jo's care and all their social, emotional and developmental needs were met in full. It is clear Jo loves her job and the welfare of children in her care is jo's priority. Thanks Jo, you made a hard few years easier to cope with.
