Being knowledgeable in basic first aid and CPR is important for au pairs (and anyone else caring for children). Au Pair in America\u2019s commitment to infant\/child safety begins before au pairs arrive to the U.S., with pre-arrival training\u00a0and continue throughout the au\u00a0pair year.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

#1 Training At Orientation<\/strong><\/p>\n

Our orientation includes seminars by American Red Cross instructors who provide hands-on demonstrations in infant\/child CPR and safety. Printed materials are provided that reinforce the safety information and can be used to review from time to time.<\/p>\n

#2 Enroll in a Red Cross Certification Class<\/strong><\/p>\n

After settling into their host community, all au pairs are encouraged to complete an Infant\/Child CPR and First Aid certification program. Au Pair in America will pay for this training through the American Red Cross.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/strong>Classes are available through the Red Cross. Au Pair in America will pay for the cost of a class providing an au pair has at least six months left on her visa and is taking one of several approved childcare\/child safety-related classes, such as Adult and Pediatric First Aid\/CPR\/AED. Au pairs should check with their community counselor and host family before signing up. Au Pair in America will register the au pair directly.<\/p>\n

To locate a class, visit www.redcross.org\/takeaclass<\/a>. For step-by-step instructions on how to locate a class and have Au Pair in America complete enrollment, click here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

#3 Stay Current on Safety Information<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Official American Red Cross First Aid app puts expert advice for everyday emergencies in your hand. Available for iPhone and Android devices, this app gives you instant access to the information you need to know to handle the most common first aid emergencies. With videos, interactive quizzes and simple step-by-step advice, it\u2019s never been easier to know first aid. <\/span>Download the app for free from the American Red Cross website<\/a> or in your app store.<\/p>\n
