WHY CHOOSE THIS COURSE?

This unique and pioneering course is unlike any other online First Aid course. It not only covers the big emergencies but the stuff you really need to know day to day to manage accidents and illnesses AND prevent accidents from happening in the first place.

It draws on my 30 years experience as a Paediatric Nurse and Health Visitor and being a Mummy of two myself.

Advice from a trusted, reassuring, expert Paediatric Nurse who has over 30 years experience, over 20 of those working in A&E and is a parent of two herself

I'm covering the most common scenarios, concerns and questions I see in A&E, get asked about in my First Aid courses and being a Mummy myself, this course is designed for parents, grandparents & carers.

The information within this course has ensured……

Parents feel relieved they have gained knowledge and confidence through the latest First Aid advice and practical tips.
Babies and children are happier as their parents have the confidence to let them explore knowing they have safe proofed their home, are aware of common accidents and illnesses and feel reassured they would know what to do should anything happen

This is the course you need and the support you deserve

Why am I best placed to help you? Here's a bit about me...

I have supported parents and their little ones for 30 years and I have two children myself………..so I have been there.

I have seen time and time again the difference when parents feel confident, more relaxed and at ease not only with vital life-saving First Aid skills but also essential life-changing knowledge of how to manage more common, everyday accidents and illnesses at home. Plus how to actually prevent them in the first place.

I’ve wanted to look after babies for as long as I can remember. My dream was fulfilled when I trained as a Paediatric Nurse at Great Ormond Street Hospital. I later moved to Paediatric A&E, where I still work. I have had various Nursing roles and as a Health Visitor in the community & hospital. I am also an Infant Massage Instructor and am passionate about the lifelong benefits Baby Massage can bring.

In 2006, while working in London, I recognised the need for a relaxed, friendly service addressing common parental concerns. Baby Steps was born offering courses to parents in their home in First Aid, Weaning & Baby Massage & Relaxation. After running Baby Steps in London for 13 years, we moved to Hampshire. Here I have a beautiful studio in the woods which is a calm cocoon for new parents and babies, as well as courses in your home and online.

My mission is “To give reassurance and confidence to parents and babies everyday”. I have had the privilege to care for the most amazing families. I feel I have the best job in the world & the testimonies I receive make my heart sing!

I am Mummy to Isabella and William. Being a parent has exceeded all I could have wished for but I know how hard it can be. I’ve been there and can’t wait to support you.
