Meet the Trainer - Katy & Claire in Kensington

We are Katy & Claire – the local Daisy First Trainers for Kensington, Holland Park, Ravenscourt Park, Hammersmith and Fulham.

Here are 5 things about us…

Why we became a Daisy First Aid Trainers….

It’s been five years now since we found Daisy First Aid and took the plunge. It has delivered exactly what we were looking for – our own business which we control, supportive co-workers and head office, and the job satisfaction of teaching life-saving skills. We haven’t looked back!

My background/own experience…

Katy worked as a Neuro-physio before and after having her first of four children. Claire worked in finance up until the birth of her first of three children.

With young children at home we were looking for a work/life balance. Our own experience of bringing up babies with the inevitable challenges and worries, made us realise how useful it would be to learn child and baby first aid.

We believed that parents, grandparents and carers should be taught these skills, not just teachers. It’s amazing how few people know what to do in the event of an emergency!

What we love about teaching…

To begin with, we were both quite nervous about speaking to a group. Once we experienced how interested and engaged our participants were, and were able to answer their questions and concerns, we felt immense satisfaction at being able to pass on these life-saving skills and instil confidence.

Every class is different and we love meeting parents, grandparents and of course beautiful babies.

Our proudest moment…

It’s always difficult to pick out a proudest moment, other than the day your baby arrives.

However, everyday we feel proud of our children, and now we feel proud of ourselves knowing that we have passed on life-saving skills at each Daisy First Aid class.
