About How To Save A Life
We are both paramedics and mothers who are passionate about providing you with the knowledge and skills to keep your babies and children safe.
Unfortunately, as paramedics we have attended too many jobs whereby the baby or child’s health was jeopardised due to family members or bystanders having little-to-no knowledge of how to help in a medical emergency, or provide first aid.
Emergency situations can happen anywhere and anytime.The moments between calling an ambulance, and the ambulance arriving DO matter and you CAN make a difference.
We come to your home to train you and your family/friends (minimum 6-10 people required depending on your location).
We service Sydney and the Gold Coast.
