  • “First aid for children can be a daunting topic, but I was lucky to have Charlotte come into my home so it was a safe and comfortable environment. Charlotte was a fantastic educator and so knowledgeable — the fact she has her own medical background built confidence in what I was learning.”

    — Victoria K

  • “This is an awesome, well thought out course that addresses a lot of the scary situations mums/caregivers could potentially face when caring for children. Thank you for creating it for me & all the other mums who might also be feeling a bit nervous and lost! The handouts and the fridge magnets were also super helpful to take away and refer back to at home.”

    — Emma Y

  • “I had done a first aid course through my work about 2 months before, but this course far exceeded my expectations. I took more away on this course than the full day course with work. The workbook/resources were great & I can see myself referring to the workbook all the time. I don't even know where I have put the workbook from the other first aid course.”
