Meet Zoe, daughter of our very own Angel Simon Brewer. Simon says that employment with Domestic Angels "works out really well for school run times for both my son and daughter enabling me to be around for my children outside of school hours."
Simon is a single parent working part-time hours, "the team around me at Domestic Angels are great and always there for me, they understand what it is to be a working parent and are always supportive. They make it possible for me to be able to work and put my family first."

The rise is partly because there is better awareness of the issue. But charities who try to support young carers say they are also under greater strain
