UNIQUE VIRTUAL CPR & BABY SAFETY YOUR WAY

A virtual CPR & Baby Safety Class for that extra peace of mind

CPR Baby Safety Class

This class is recommended for parents, grandparents, nannies, babysitters and anyone caring for an infant. The primary emphasis of the class is on injury prevention, and also includes learning how and when to administer CPR to an infant. You will learn common choking hazards and demonstrate how to rescue an infant who has an airway obstruction. We discuss ways to baby-proof your home, reduce the risk of SIDS, and consider how safety challenges change as babies develop and explore.

This class is taught by a Certified Childbirth Educator, who is also a SAFEKIDS Certified Child Passenger Safety Technician and an American Heart Association Certified CPR Instructor. Information provided in class builds confidence and skills, while NOT presenting content from a fear-based perspective. All activities are hands-on, interactive and designed to increase retention when you might need it most.

A FRESH APPROACH TO VIRTUAL LEARNING

I maintain extremely high standards for my live virtual childbirth classes. No boring lectures and slide decks... Instead, information is shared in interactive, fun ways that completely engage you in experiential learning, make the material memorable and give you ample opportunity to connect with others in the class. Families consistently rave about the high level of engagement they experience in my virtual classes. These live online childbirth classes will exceed your expectations.
