First Aid & Infant Care for Helpers
$200 - $250First Aid Trainer
Confidence When You're Away from Home
Having a baby can be daunting. Leaving them with someone else can be even harder, especially if you are unsure of their abilities. Our First Aid & Infant Care for Helpers classes were created to give you peace of mind by teaching your helper how to respond the way you would in a variety of situations.
Taught in a friendly, relaxed and sociable manner, we go through the basics of both First Aid for Children and infants in our First Aid class, and in the Infant Care class we make sure they understand caring for an infant the same way you would.
Our Infant Care portion has interactive topics and covers all the basics of soothing a newborn, hygiene, feeding and safety. We also include topics such as Sleeping and Routines, How to play with babies and their development/ milestones, and an introduction to when babies start solids – It is perfect for any helper caring for a child from newborn until 6 months old.
Our First Aid portion will prepare your helper to recognize and care for a variety of first aid and common ailments encountered by infants and young children. With an emphasis on hands-on learning, the class is an interactive experience where they will respond to real-world emergencies such as infant and child CPR and choking – essential skills for anyone being left caring for children.
If you are confident in your helper’s basic newborn/childcare techniques, but are unsure how they would respond to a emergency situation, Beloved Bumps also provides the option of a First Aid Only for Helpers Class. This is not a certification course, but your helper will learn the skills needed so they are confident and competent. If you are interested in you or your helper having a First Aid certification, please contact us at info@belovedbumps.sg.
FAQs
When and why should my helper take this course?
Whenever you think it is suitable. Some mums feel it’s best to have their helpers take the course when they are pregnant, others prefer their helper to take it a few weeks after your baby is born.
Even though many helpers in Singapore have their own children, this course is designed to refresh their knowledge and place emphasis on basic skills such as hygiene, when to call for help and how they can help you around the house.
Does my helper attend on her own?
Yes. We find that helpers tend to open up more with questions, and are less intimidated to show off their newly learnt skills when they are in an environment without their boss! However, we will ask you before the course if there is anything specific you’d like us to cover.
How long does the course last?
It is a half day course, but it depends on how many attendees we have, and how many questions they have! Generally the course lasts 2.5-3 hours.
Will you provide a certificate to prove her attendance?
Yes, absolutely! Your helper will receive a certificate explaining that she has completed the course and what was covered on the course. We also provide information sheets with reminders of what was taught.
First Aid and Newborn Care are taught over two consecutive Wednesdays.
