Meet The Trainer: Dani in Eastbourne

Our Story

Founded by Jenni Dunman, a former police officer, Daisy First Aid is a family friendly franchise that offers flexible business ownership as part of an amazing, supportive community.

After saving her best friend’s baby from choking in 2012, Jenni has grown Daisy First Aid from a small start-up when her 3 children were babies into a national multi award winning franchise that is accredited by the British Franchise Association.

We have over 120 franchises across the UK and we’d love to have you too!

Hello, I’m Dani, the local Daisy First Aid Trainer for Eastbourne, Uckfield, Newhaven & the surrounding areas.

Here are 5 things about me…

Why I became a Daisy First Aid Trainer….

I first heard about Daisy First Aid when I saw an advert from a crew colleague, asking for freelance teachers, so I made some enquiries but unfortunately she wasn’t based in my area. 

I was interested to learn more about this opportunity but when I looked into it, there was no Daisy in my area & that got me thinking! 

I got in touch with a few crew colleagues who were either franchisees or freelance trainers & bombarded them with questions & I really liked what I heard. 

It sounded like a great company to work with/for, with lots of people (just like me) who needed a lot flexibility around childcare. 

My background/own experience…

I have worked for a well known British airline for over 20 years – more than half of them as cabin crew. As you can imagine crew have quite extensive first aid training, as once that door closes & we are up in the air, we have to be able to deal with anything from cardiac arrest, to childbirth to anaphylaxis. 

When Covid hit & no-one was flying anywhere, I joined the NHS for a year & trained as a Covid Vaccinator, which was very interesting!

Once the vaccination centre in my area closed, I joined the Schools Immunisations team for a while, before returning to flying. 

Prior to joining the airline, I also worked as a Lifeguard for 5 years. 

What I love about teaching…

I am really enjoying being party of the Daisy family & I love seeing the participants reaction at the end of the class, when they realise they are leaving me, armed with the knowledge & confidence to act in an emergency situation. 

My 2 proudest moments…

1) The look on my parents faces when my husband and I did a Viennese Waltz for our first dance on our wedding day – they were dance teachers, but I had never learnt to dance myself – Jon & I went off to have lessons in secret, for our big day! 

2) The birth of our beautiful daughter, who is now 4 years old & the light of our lives.

Something fun/interesting/ or important about me….

A fun fact about me – I am a Padi DiveMaster & Master Scuba Diver! 

What I offer & where…

I offer 2 hour parent First Aid Classes, both at venues in my area or in the comfort of your own home (minimum of 4 people for this).

I also offer fun, interactive online Zoom classes – both for the 2 hour parent class & also a 1 hour Baby Essentials class.
