Kerrie Ward
Naranagba - Cotton Tree Drive Service Manager / Nominated Supervisor
Qualification: Advanced Diploma in Children's Services
My career in care and education began 30 years ago and 25 of these I have been with Sesame Lane. Over the decades, I’ve built relationships with families that last for years. It’s wonderful to help children achieve their milestones and watch them grow from nursery to school age. This is what keeps me inspired. What I love most are the conversations we have with the children. So many cuddles and smiles, and a ‘Hi Miss Kerrie!’ each day. And then when they see you at the shops, they run up for a hug. There are so many things I love about my work – the pictures they draw for you and the small, special gifts they give. So many memories. When the day is done, I enjoy spending time with family and friends, including my own happy, healthy learner – my 12-year-old son, Jy. To relax, I love dirt-biking, fishing and camping. Someday I’d love to travel around Australia in a caravan.
