This is a two-part class focusing on helping babysitters learn the basics of CPR anf First Aid:
Part One: Virutal Class
The first part is a virtual class that lasts 2.5 hours long. For this portion of the class, you will need access to a device that has a camera and microphone (ideally a computer). In the virtual class, students will learn about:
- Injury prevention
- How children act when something is wrong
- How to identify and care for common illnesses and injuries
- How and when to call 9-1-1
- Child CPR and AED
- Infant CPR
- How to help a choking infant or child
Part Two: In-Person Skills Check
The second part is a in-person skills check, occuring on a different date than the virtual class. During this section, students will have an opportunity to review the class material and demonstrate and complete hands-on skill practice. Demonstration will include First-Aid and CPR for Infant and Child.
Our in-person skills check follows Start Safe Guidelines as well as Seattle Children’s Infection Prevention Policies and continues to limit the number of participants present while following physical distancing and face mask requirements. Please refer to the in-person skills check guidelines below.
Both the virtual class and in-person skills check must be completed before students can be certified and must be done in that order as well. At the end of the skills check, students will receive an electronic AHA Heartsaver K-12 First Aid CPR AED course completion card, valid for two years.
