A mum said she became emotional after watching a young lad at a wrestling show in Wirral.
Kelly Mccrorie had taken her 10-year-old son to the All Star Super Slam Wrestling event at the Floral Pavillion in New Brighton, Wallasey, on Sunday, October 3.
While she was there she was blown away after watching the carer in front of her with two lads.

Kelly, 40, told the ECHO: "I have worked in care and nursing homes since I was 16 and I was just amazed at how this young man in front of me was with the two lads in his care.
"You just don't really see that from a young lad, when you think of a carer you think of, well, me - a woman of my age.
"But he was just amazing with them, just little things that could easily go unnoticed, such as ripping the popcorn box down so they can feed themselves, just helps keep their independence.
"He was really phenomenal with them both - it actually made me emotional to watch."
Kelly was moved to write a post on Facebook where she said: "I've just been to the wrestling at the Floral in New Brighton tonight and would just like to say there was a lad in front of me with a wheelchair user and a service user on his own, obviously a keyworker/carer, he was absolutely amazing with the way he cared for them, couldn't compliment him enough.
"Didn't catch his name, unfortunately, but absolutely bloody amazing."
Kelly told the ECHO: "It did warrant a post just because we, as carers, don't always get the recognition we deserve - especially working through covid and on the low pay."
The young man she was referring to was Jamie Reecejones who is one of the carers who looks after John, 28, and Jason Mahoney, 18.
Their mum Sue Mahoney, 63, from Wallasey, told the ECHO that all her sons' carers are hand picked and there is more than training that makes someone perfect for the job.
She said: "John has spina bifida and cerebral palsy while Jason has microcephaly which means he has learning difficulties, he is also dyspraxic and has cerebral palsy in his legs.
"And a carer needs to know all this, but more importantly, see them as a person and not a job and that is exactly what Jamie does.
"We have five carers who work with us and all of them are amazing, but I think because Jamie is a similar age to John it is almost like they are just friends.
"After lockdown John, Jason and Jamie all went out to a pub in Liverpool and it wasn't a carer taking out two lads, it was three mates going out together.
"I think it is really important that the boys are included in choosing the carers because you can have all the NVQs and training in the world, but if you haven't got 'it', you haven't got 'it' - it is a gift, it is in a person's DNA and we simply do not pay people enough for their important work."
Sue adopted her two sons after meeting them at Ellary Park School where she worked at the time. After fostering John and later Jason they stayed with Sue who said her time at the special needs school had helped equip her for helping her sons.
She said: "Jason was a very troubled little boy, but he has grown so much and while he can still have issues finding his place in the world and can still get very anxious, he is such a gentleman.
"He loves bingo and goes to a bingo club where the average age is about 75, but he goes and holds the door open for some of the ladies and even takes water over to one of the regulars and her carer.
"Jason is the big wrestling fan but John likes to go to all sorts of things for the social side of it - they are both very chatty and take to anyone, they get that from me because I am a Scouser.
"The boys had an amazing time.
She added: "The main thing you worry about as a parent is if your child is happy, especially if they have special needs. But with the right carer, you know they will feel safe to be themselves. We have been very lucky with all our carers."
