I had only one caseworker that I had major issues with, to the point what ever I said she seemed to feel or say the opposite. I foster care through a private agency, so I had my caseworker at that agency to deal with her. The caseworker would tell me something like there was a hold up with the child’s medicaid and then would say she did not know what I was talking about. To deal with this I started corresponding by email which was great because she then put things in writing. Then if things were questioned I would forward the emails to my caseworker at my agency. Granted this is not the best working relationship to help the child but in some cases it may not be avoidable. The caseworker did finally move the children to a different foster home which was probably best for everyone. After the caseworker moved the children we had our home investigated courtesy of her. My advice is document everything because you are the only one that can protect yourself and your home.

I have only had three male caseworkers and they been harder to relate with(in the beginning) and work with. First male caseworker I had for maybe a week, and he did not work much with me. One of my foster children had two male caseworkers. During one of her visits with bio parents (one of the first ones that he had been to), bio parents where running late (like usually) and I had made plans with my family since the visit was for two hours. I sat with the caseworker for about 15 minutes and then explained that I had to go.
