Au Pairs Receive CPR Training

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.IMG_4812 IMG_4819 IMG_4822 IMG_4826 IMG_4827 IMG_4832 IMG_4835 IMG_4837

FREE RED CROSS FIRST AID CLASSES FOR AU PAIRS!

RedCrossAu Pair in America is pleased to offer scholarships to APIA au pairs for American Red Cross  classes. It is a great way for au pairs to expand their child safety skills and enhance their understanding of child development. Approved courses include:

·         American Red Cross Adult/Pediatric First Aid CPR/AED

·         Pediatric First Aid CPR/AED (group class only)

If an au pair is interested or if a host family would like to schedule a class as part of an au pair’s work hours, simply pick a class and location from the Red Cross website  www.redcross.org/take-a-class and let me know which one you’ve selected. APIA will register the au pair, pay for the class, and email back a confirmation. To qualify, au pairs must have a minimum six months remaining on their contract. Each au pair is entitled to one scholarship only. Classes are offered locally (New Canaan, Darien, etc).

Please let me know if you have any questions.
