About this child/client
Jemima and Sarah are delightful twin girls approaching their first birthday. Both are happy, smiley and love interactive play. Jemima is currently receiving treatment for liver cancer (hepatoblastoma), including chemotherapy, an NG tube for nutrition and a central line. Despite her treatment, she is a bright, playful little girl who enjoys the same routines and activities as her sister. Sarah is an active, fun-loving toddler who thrives alongside Jemima. The family also have an older daughter who attends nursery, so this role focuses solely on the twins.
