What a way to spend Saturday!

We had an amazing session with childminders, including new mums and a dedicated granny. Huge thanks to our translator for making sure every concept clicked!

We made sure we imparted the knowledge and tools to prevent accidents and recognise when a child needs medical intervention, plus the super powers to handle emergencies and save a child’s life.

Key tips for parents:
👉 Keep a visible emergency contact list with 3 numbers: Next of Kin, ambulance, and insurance.
👉 Ensure childminders have talk time or data for emergencies.
👉 Discuss consent for videos of symptoms or incidents—they can be invaluable for doctors.
👉 For pool safety, explore options for safe rescues without risk.

With their booklets as a guide, these graduates are ready to step in and save lives!

Thank you to our amazing attendees for making safety a priority - it was a privilege to teach you!

Tuesday Tip of the week!

Burns are a leading cause of trauma in small children. If we don’t manage the first aid care of them when they occur - it can lead to scarring, disability and life altering trauma.

Major burns also require parents to be fierce advocates for their children - especially in ensuring sufficient pain relief. Studies show a significant link between pain, which increases trauma, leading to delayed wound healing.

Knowing how important cooling the burn down, gives you the power to act. Busting myths about what to put on burns, such as egg whites and butter, means you can go straight to effective treatments, which ultimately means, a better outcome for your precious human.

Join our upcoming course and become feel confident in helping your child in a first aid situation. Add to your awesome.

“I recently attended Dani Van Wyk’s first aid course, and it was engaging and empowering. The training was thorough and well-structured, making it easy to grasp and remember essential first aid techniques. A few months after completing the course, my son Riley began choking on a piece of meat. Thanks to the skills I learned from Dani, I was able to remain calm and perform the necessary steps to dislodge the obstruction quickly. The knowledge I gained from the course was invaluable in that critical moment. Dani also went above and beyond when she gave us extra guidance tailored to our needs since my other son has asthma. We deeply appreciate the personalized attention and the comprehensive information she shared.I highly recommend Dani Van Wyk’s first aid course! It is a game changer! The skills and confidence you gain could one day help you save a life.”
- Sarah Landing

Inspiring testimonies like these not only motivate us but also emphasize the crucial role we play in creating a safer future for our little ones. Together, we can make a meaningful difference!

How do you know when your child is choking?
They are looking at you wide-eyed and SILENT!
If they’re making a noise, air is still moving through. Hands off and trust that impressive gag reflex.

If there is NO noise - that’s when you need to jump into action. They NEED you to know what to do.

For infants, you’re going to give 5 Back Blows followed by 5 Chest Trusts, if it’s still stuck.

For children, you’re going to use ‘in and up’ Abdominal Thrusts until it comes out, or they lose consciousness.
