About The Instructor Tracy Kalemba RN, MSN president of Caring Professional Resources LLC, has been a registered nurse since 1987. She has worked in hospitals, pediatrics, home care, and presently teaches nursing at Rutgers University in New Jersey. She has been a certified American Heart Association CPR instructor since 1991 and a certified childbirth educator with the Council of Childbirth Education Specialists since 1995. Tracy is active teaching parents the vital lifesaving skills contained in her program. As a mother she feels so strongly that everyone should know infant and child cpr skills, that she produced: Infant/Child CPR: What Every Parent Should Know, so that others could learn and review this lifesaving information regarding infant and child cpr at their leisure. Tracy recommends reviewing the infant and child cpr DVD once a month on your child's date of birth. By reviewing the information periodically it will be easier to remember the infant and child cpr skills and you will feel more confident should you ever need to use the information or skills from the program. Infant/Child CPR Facts Among children ages 1 to 4 years, most drownings occur in residential swimming pools. Most young children who drowned in pools were last seen in the home, had been out of sight less than five minutes, and were in the care of one or both parents at the time. In 2001, 859 children ages 0 to 14 years died from drowning (CDC 2003). Drowning remains the second-leading cause of injury-related death for children ages 1 to 14 years (CDC 2003). In 2001, 864 children ages 14 and under died from unintentional« less

"I thought that this DVD was a great way to improve my CPR! The child who I am now currently babysitting parent's told me that I needed to know CPR before I could babysit their kid. I also was thinking about learning CPR because I have twin cousins who are 3 years old and I would hate for something to happen to them and I wouldn't know what to do. I have also heard many tragic drowning stories. I think that every babysitter should watch this DVD just incase! Also, if possible to take a CPR class. This DVD really made me realize the dangers there are around swimming pools and small toys that children could choke on! Now I will know what to do if something should ever happen when I would need to use this!"
Every potential babysitter needs to see this!

"I am going to be babysitting soon and I had taken a babysitting class they talked about choking and CPR but really didn't spend much time teaching it. My mom's friend recommended my mom get this DVD for me to watch and review sometimes. I really liked the beginning when the boy drowns. It made me think how careful I have to be when I am alone with the kids I babysit. I learned a lot from the DVD and will watch it again like the lady said once a month and you will remember it better."

"As a future parent, it's important for me to learn the basics of CPR. This DVD made it possible for me to understand and remember the simple steps of saving my child if he or she becomes incapacitated."
Gets to the point

"I thought this video was good. It gets to the point and lets you stop and rewatch things. I don't need lenghty explanations on how and why, I just want to know how to save a life if I need to. I am buying this for myself and my children's grandparents because I think the video is to the point enough to keep the grandparents interested in watching it all. Not too long and boring."
Excellent Information

"As a mother of 3 children under the age of 5 I found this program very good. I liked the fact that it wasn't too long. I could go back to any segment that I wanted to and could review it at any time. Unlike attending a full length CPR class which can take hours and I don't need to know the infant material which would be a waste of my time to sit through. It was understandable and definetly worth the price."
