Jess – Director, Kariong OOSH
With over 20 years of experience in the childcare industry, I am proud to lead Kariong OSHC as its Director. Throughout my career, I have completed both my Certificate III and Diploma in Children’s Services, and I am currently in my eighth year of a double teaching degree at university.
I am deeply passionate about creating a safe, nurturing environment where children feel loved, supported, and empowered to learn. I believe that when children are surrounded by caring, dedicated educators, their potential truly flourishes.
