A supporting foster home for Noah and James

Noah, who is four years old, and James, who is three years old, are brothers who recently came into care in the South Dublin area. Both Noah and James are attending pre-school, and both are doing well and are getting along with staff and their peers.

Noah loves to play outside and loves the freedom to run, climb and play on bikes. He loves Spider-man, superheroes, cars and a variety of different table-top activities. James enjoys playing with cars, trucks, trains and garages. He also likes to play with playdough, slime, ice/water and other messy activities. He loves playing outside, with football, chasing his friends, and riding bikes or scooters, being some of his favourite activities.

Both Noah and James have some developmental delays, however they are learning and progressing well, and with continued support and consistency they will continue to do so.

The preference is that both boys remain together with the same foster family. They both enjoy quiet time, also, so a home that provided an opportunity for this would be beneficial. A foster carer or carers close to Dublin would be best suited to care for Noah and James, however a placement further away would be considered if it best met the boys’ needs.
