Learn Baby and Child CPR and First Aid With The Professionals...
With our baby CPR classes, you will leave with clarity and confidence.
We are parents too. This means we are not immune to the everyday anxieties that parenthood brings
You don’t need baby first aid until you really NEED it.
We started The Nest because we had witnessed these situations more than once, and then had to treat the aftermath.
This includes living with childhood food allergy. This is not a diagnosis that people plan for.
Between our baby and child first aid classes and The Nest Allergy Membership, we have you well covered.

When the baby started choking, my baby first aid training kicked in…
3 years ago, I was sitting in apark in Sydney and a 6 month old baby choked on a piece of sausage. She was grey, and not breathing. There was absolutely no coughing or no sound coming from her at all. Her mum was screaming and saying “I didnt know what to do!”
I just approached her on autopilot and started choking first aid on the infant. After nearly 5 back blows, I was startiung to internally worry that i may ned to turn her over and start chest thrusts, or even check to see if i needed to start CPR…
Than she had a massive vomit. To say I was relieved is an understatement. I started shaking and slowly feel like I came out of a laser focused fog.
You see, the thing is that I knew what to do. It just felt automatic. I didnt even think about what to do, I just did it.
This is how we want you to feel when you finish one of our baby first aid and CPR classes.
