Organizing a Private Class with Anna Griffin

$30 per person for 7 or more people
$25 per person for 12 or more people

Mostly she does the classes on Tues, Wed, Thurs evenings or daytimes. She can also do a Sat class from 9-12 if there are 10 or more people.

The week day class would be from 6-9PM or 6:30 - 9:30 pm and is CPR, rescue breathing, and choking for infants and children (up to 8 yrs old). She has infant and child dummies for practice.

About bringing babies - although she has done classes with babies before, she suggests having childcare during the class because it is a lot of information and is normally a 6-8 hr. class compacted into only 3 hrs.

Some parents alternate taking the class, some get a sitter. Some groups bring several sitters and the sitters stay in a back room with the babies during the class.

The class is not "certified," but she can do a certified one through the American Heart Association that takes a few more hours, with a written test, etc. She says the 3 hr. class has just as much "hands on" practice as the longer version.

Parents provide the space, so a house is needed which can accommodate the class and allow room for practicing.
