Where Nannies Can Get CPR, AED, and First Aid Certified This Season

Updated November 2026

Current CPR, AED, and First Aid certification is a basic part of professional in-home childcare. Families want a nanny who can respond if a child is choking, injured, or needs emergency help, and caregivers who keep those credentials current are in a stronger position when a new role opens.

At Dream Nannies, we place nannies, newborn care specialists, and household managers with families across Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Florida, and Texas. November and December 2026 are a practical window to renew before the new year. This guide lists training centers in those states that are offering classes this season, including blended options that combine online coursework with a short in-person skills session. Each listing includes a phone number and a registration link so you can schedule directly.

Why blended learning can be easier to schedule

Many of the centers below use a hybrid format: you complete the lecture and cognitive modules online at your own pace, then come in for a hands-on skills checkoff. That shortens the time you need to be away from work, while still giving you real practice on a manikin.

Confirm dates, times, and the exact course (Adult & Pediatric First Aid/CPR/AED, BLS, or another format) directly with the training center before you register, since class schedules can change.

Cambridge Bay Health runs the Red Cross training at this hotel; the hotel itself does not book the class. Red Cross courses at this location include a December 8, 2026 Basic Life Support (BLS) class. Confirm the current schedule and course type when you register, since the December 8 offering is BLS and an instructor course, not a standard Adult & Pediatric First Aid/CPR/AED class. The training site can also change, so use the class list above for the latest location.

What families should ask

If you are hiring, it is reasonable to ask whether a candidate’s CPR, AED, and First Aid certification is current, and when it expires. That is one part of a careful hire, along with references and a background check. Every nanny we place completes a full background check before their start date. For the steps in a search, see how to hire a nanny and what a nanny background check covers.

Looking for your next role, or your next nanny?

Dream Nannies places nannies and household professionals with families across Georgia, the Carolinas, Florida, and Texas, backed by our 6-month replacement policy. Every nanny completes a full background check before their start date.
