Erica is a mum to 3 children, and has worked for a long-haul airline for almost 20 years. She is keen to share her knowledge of life-saving first aid skills to other parents and carers.
I attended the class last night and I thought it was brilliant, hopefully none of us will ever have to use the first aid. However, should you be in the circumstance that you do hopefully you can apply some of what you’ve learnt even if it’s elements as you maybe flustered. Zoe was fab and would highly recommend attending the course and encourage grandparents etc to also attend.
I have been putting off attending a first aid course as I was concerned that it would turn me into a nervous wreak and seeing danger around every corner! But my friend recommended this course and I am so glad she did. I feel confident now that I would be able to take control in an emergency situation. Zoe did a brilliant job of reassuring and not scaring us. Hearing a mix of official guidelines and parents instincts made it really practical. There were lots of opportunities to ask questions and to try out the techniques. I am off to get our first aid kit sorted now!
Me and my Husband attended this class. It’s a relief that we both know what to do in an emergency situation. Be it at home or out and about for another child. We were welcomed to bring our 11week old baby too which was a nice touch, thank you. The class was brilliant! Friendly and crammed with valuable knowledge. We bought a first aid kit for the pram too.
Zoe held a private mini first aid class for 8 of us last night at my house and it was fantastic. Perfect amount of time and covered all the key essentials a Mum of little ones would need to recommend! Thanks Zoe!
We attended the Mini First Aid class when I was pregnant last year. Fast forward to now and my baby girl is 8months old and my training has just saved her life! My daughter began silently choking on a piece of toast and had started to turn purple, because of my training I remained as calm as can be in that situation and was able to get her in the correct position and give her some black blows and retrieve the nasty culprit. £20 I paid for that course, it was the best £20 I ever spent because my daughter's life is priceless. I know for a fact before attending the course I would have just panicked and screamed, not knowing the best course of action. Thank you so much Mini First Aid, you saved my daughter's life and for that I'm eternally grateful.
I arranged a mini first aid class at my home with Zoe. It was really easy and quick to arrange, Zoe responded to all my emails quickly and answered any of my queries. The class was fantastic, it was very informative covering the main first aid procedures parents worry about and may not know with some practical as well to make sure we feel comfortable doing it if ever needed. Zoe was wonderful with my 9 month old daughter who loves exploring everything, she made us feel at ease and we found her approachable and knowledgeable. It was great value for money, definitely worth doing and would recommend to any parent who has never had baby and child first aid or needs a refresher.
Sky are always looking for ways to better support their staff and Parents@Sky Network offers support and benefits to staff who are parents. I came across Mini First Aid through a Facebook promotion and there was a huge demand for the Infant and Child First Aid class which was shared on our internal and external social channels. The communication and organisation of the event was excellent - Sarah-Lou was professional, engaging and even injected some parent style humour! The class was interactive and educational - everyone took something away from it including much more confidence in dealing with any emergencies which could arise with their little ones. The feedback received on the back of it was amazing! It was a great success and hopefully something we can do again, and potentially roll out to other sites in the UK. Thank you Mini First Aid, you were a pleasure to deal with!
The Mini First Aid Class (filmed for ITVBe) was a fantastic class, both Arg and I found it a really good and informative session
There are a gazillion things I never seem to get around to doing (fixing the broken blind in our bedroom, getting some photos printed of ‘the baby’ who is almost two but still doesn’t exist on our walls, pinning down the coffee date I’ve been promising my neglected friend via WhatsApp for at least 6 months…) BUT this morning I finally got my arse in gear and ticked off something from my ‘Really Must Do’ list by attending a First Aid class designed specifically for parents, grandparents and carers of babies and young children. It took just two hours out of my morning and covered a whole host of stuff including what to do if a child is choking, how to deal with burns/breaks/bleeding and the basics of life-saving CPR for kids.
It was a pleasure meeting Kate and Jacky from Mini First Aid and being taught what to do in case of an emergency. Learning CPR and what to do when a child is choking is invaluable. Obviously, I hope I never had to use the things I learned in today’s class, but horrible things happen and knowing these techniques can really make a huge difference. The class was fun and accessible given the seriousness of the topic. I would highly recommend everyone doing it.
We completed the course when our baby was tiny and now am very thankful we did. At 8 months old now and into everything, he started to choke on an ice cube. He went red, couldn't cough and was starting to go blue. The invaluable advice learnt at the course most certainly helped to save his life! Thank you Mini First Aid x
One afternoon, we were enjoying a day out in the sunshine and had stopped to feed our daughter of 7 months, she’s just started solid food and we’d been giving her sliced banana to chew on. On this particular day, she inhaled a small piece and began to choke. I quickly remembered Martin’s words, put her in the proper hold, bottom in the air and one forceful strike between her shoulder blades dislodged the banana and although she was shocked, she was able to breathe again and I can’t tell you how relieved we felt! It may have only been 10 seconds in which she couldn’t breathe but it was terrifying. Had I not had the training from Martin and Mini First Aid, I cannot even begin to imagine how differently the situation could have turned out. In fact, I’d go as far to say that the training I received enabled me to save our daughter’s life.
I have worked with small children for many years and have always been terrified of the thought of applying the first aid training i'd had in the past. But after 2 hours with Hayley I truly feel more confident. The course was clear, calm and specifically geared towards the problems i'd face in my job. It made me think of things I hadn't before making me a safer and more prepared teacher in the case of an emergency.
"We are so glad we have done a Mini First Aid class. We enjoyed the class, found it really useful and feel so much more prepared in the build up to having our baby.”
I cannot recommend Mini First Aid enough. Kate ran a private class for me and my 11 year old daughter in the comfort of our own home, which was perfect especially as my babies are due any day now. My daughter and I feel much more confident in knowing what to do in a range of emergency situations and I also got some extra twin tips from Kate as a fellow twin Mum! It's such an important life skill that every parent and carer should have so I would urge you to book a Mini First Aid course today.
