In-home CPR classes for families living in the Greater Boston, North Shore, South Shore, Metro-West areas.

Classes taught are the American Heart Association’s Family and Friends curriculum and focus on infants and children.

Teresa decided to become a CPR instructor in 2007 after her daughter choked (twice!) before her first birthday. Going through those emotional, traumatic experiences motivated Teresa to become certified through the American Heart Association. Her goal is to help you develop the skills, confidence and knowledge so if you should ever be in a similar situation, you too, can save a child’s life.

Every parent wants to keep his child safe!

Would you know what to do if your baby or child was injured? Do you know how to prevent common childhood injuries? Would you be able to perform life-saving skills on a baby or child who was choking? Have you taken a CPR class in the last two years?

If you answered “no” to any of those questions, it’s time to take a CPR class!  Please read below about how to schedule a class and the package options.
