Frequently Asked Questions
What is Little Aid?
Little Aid is a mobile first aid service, specifically designed for parents, grandparents and babysitters.
Can I bring my toddler or child?
For courses at community centres schools and kinders, we try to make these a child-free event. You could imagine 16 participants if each brought a child or two!
But for the courses in your home, of course they can be present.
Please bear in mind though that toddlers and children can be distracting.
Can we bring our babies?
Absolutely! Babies are beautifully portable and are usually no trouble.
If a baby decides to be more demanding than usual, we'll ensure that their parent or carer does not miss out on anything, we can even pause for a break.
Your Little Aid trainer is a parent too, so we understand it's often difficult to find a babysitter or you simply may not wish to be apart.
How does the Little Aid fundraiser work?
The only differences with having your Little Aid course as a fundraiser are:
How many people attend a course?
There is a minimum of 5 and maximum 16 participants in any course.
This is a small number, which is deliberate as we've learned from experience that people are more relaxed and learn more within these numbers.
If you have, for example 20 people interested, we recommend this is broken up into 2 courses.
I'm a childcare worker and need a first aid certificate – is this what Little Aid provides?
Childcare employees who work for commercial childcare centres usually require a Level II First Aid qualification.
What are the benefits of doing a Little Aid course?
A lot of people caring for children don't have the knowledge or confidence to provide first aid in the most common emergency situations.
Little Aid have worked hard to find out the answers so our courses are accessible to EVERYONE:
What do I need to bring?
Short answer – just yourself!
Some home groups ask that each participant bring a plate, some do this in the evening with wine and cheese, others prefer to simply learn over a cuppa. This is completely up to you, how you and your group feel most comfortable.
