Meet the team
Laura - Hull - Registered Manager of PP North
I'm Laura, Team Manager for PP East Yorkshire. I look after an amazing team that covers Hull, NElincs, Lincolnshire, and the surrounding areas.
I live in Hull with my family—this includes children who chose to live with me, as I'm also a Foster Carer. My family has a number of pets; this is a big focus at the moment, and all the children gravitate to them. I also enjoy cooking, a good film, reading, and building Lego with my kids.
I love my job; it's so much more than just work. It's my world, and I can't imagine doing anything else with my team within Parallel Parents. I work with fantastic fostering families and the best kids!
Emma - Hull - Supervising Social Worker
HI, I'm Emma. I have worked for Parallel Parent since 2020, I am based in Hull and work in the East Yorkshire area. I love working with our fostering family and supporting them through their fostering journey.
In my spare time I am a busy mum who watches lots of sports and enjoys trips to the park, cinema, swimming, forest walks and lots more.
Kelly - Hull - Supervising Social Worker
Hi! I'm Kelly Tate, I live in East Riding of Yorkshire. I live with my husband, two daughters and our mischievous cocker spaniel. I have been a qualified social worker for almost 14 years. I worked as a children's social worker for 5 years before moving into fostering, having worked for Independent fostering agencies as a supervising social worker for the past 9 years. I really enjoy supporting foster carers through their fostering journeys and seeing children and young people progress and reach their potential. In my spare time, I enjoy a good TV series and watching documentaries, spending time with my family and friends and going on long dog walks.
Naomi - Hull/Lincolnshire - Trainee Supervising Social Worker
Hello! My Name is Naomi and I live in Doncaster. Along with my Husband, my beautiful (but very energetic) little boy and our even more energetic cocker spaniel - We have been fostering with Parallel Parents for over a decade!
I am currently completing my final year Social worker degree and have been working for PP over 6 years as a fostering Support Worker. I am so passionate about helping others and absolutely love my role working with some incredible fostering families.
Other than spending quality time with my family and friends, I also love to sing and you'll often hear me singing away without even noticing that i'm doing it! Oops!
