Mum and daughter foster carers make strong team welcoming children into their home
Meet Louise and Ammanys (plus Ted, Elliott, Boo, and Boo's mum and dad). Louise and Ammanys are a mother and daughter team who have welcomed more than a dozen children into their home over the last three years.
From running a local stage school together, to winding down with family game nights, Louise and Ammanys have built a home filled with laughter, creativity and care.

Support and benefits of fostering with us
Choosing to foster is a big decision, and having the right support in place makes all the difference. At Foster Wales Carmarthenshire, we provide practical, emotional and financial support to help our foster carers focus on what matters most - caring for our children and young people.
As a foster carer with us, you could receive:
- Financial support
- Free swimming pool sessions at Actif leisure centres
- Free tickets to selected Scarlets home games.
- Discounts with partners including Cadw and the National Trust
- Blue Light Card.

 Fostering with us also means becoming part of a local community of foster carers. We offer regular opportunities to connect with other foster carers through support groups, coffee mornings, wellbeing walks and social activities.
