Participants will also learn how to respond to breathing and cardiac emergencies involving pediatric victims (infants and children up to 12 years of age).

The course also helps participants develop leadership skills, learn how to start and manage a babysitting business, keep themselves and others safe, and guide children’s behavior in a positive way.

The idea for this class was motivated by the girls desire to increase responsiveness to medical emergencies. The girls would like to thank the KeepSmilin4Abbie Foundation and trainer Michelle Levenson for providing assistance and support towards the success of this program.
