New Canaan au pairs with Au Pair in America received training in CPR and use of an Automated External Defibrillator (or AED) at the New Canaan Volunteer Ambulance Corps last week.  NCVAC members demonstrated infant, child and adult procedures to over a dozen girls from around the world.

Au Pair in America encourages continuous training of au pairs.  In addition to a comprehensive Orientation program before the girls join their host families, APIA offers educational webinars for au pairs six times a month, year round. And APIA will pay for any au pair to complete an Infant/Child CPR and First Aid Certification program through its exclusive partnership with the American Red Cross.
