Sorry not sorry! Had to see what my characture is!

THIS IS ME - both versions! 🌼

👋 I realised it’s been a while since I properly re-introduced myself, so here we go…

I’m Keri — mum to three amazing children 👩‍👧‍👦, wife to an incredibly supportive (and very patient!) husband 💙, first aid trainer 🚑, business owner 📚, yogi (on a good day 🧘‍♀️), ice-bath dabbler 🧊 (still convincing myself 😅), and the face behind Daisy First Aid East Cheshire 🌼

Family is everything to me 💛

Becoming a mum completely changed how I see risk, safety, and responsibility — and having a partner who backs me 100% makes it all possible 🙌

It’s also the reason I’m so passionate about teaching real, practical first aid in a calm, confidence-building way. I want parents, carers, teachers and businesses to know what to do, not freeze through fear 🧠➡️💪

A few years ago I went through a hip replacement 🦴 — something I never imagined dealing with when my kids were still little. That experience taught me a lot about resilience ✨, recovery, listening to my body, and slowing down when I need to (still learning that one 😉).

It’s part of why I’m such a big believer in strength, movement, breath 🌬️, and community 🤍 — not just in emergencies, but in everyday life too

Daisy First Aid isn’t just my job 🌼. It’s my purpose ❤️

I get to empower people — from toddlers 👶 to grandparents 👵 — with skills that can genuinely save a life 🫶. And that never stops feeling special 💞

If you’re new here, welcome 💛

If you’ve been here a while, thank you for being part of this community 🤗

MASTITIS – KNOW THE SIGNS 🤱🌡️

Mastitis can come on really quickly, and it can feel uncomfortable and overwhelming — especially when you’re already exhausted.

Spotting the signs early can make a huge difference 💛

⚠️ Look out for: • A sore, painful or tender area in the breast

• Redness or warmth to the touch
• Flu-like symptoms 🤒
• A fever or feeling generally run down

If something doesn’t feel right, trust your instincts — you know your body best ✨

⏰ If symptoms aren’t improving within 24 hours, or you’re feeling very unwell, it’s important to speak to your GP or healthcare professional, as antibiotics may be needed.

💬 Save this post, share it with a new mum, and remember — you’re not being dramatic, you’re being sensible.

Keri visited our home address to teach us the 2-hour Gold Baby & Child First Aid program. My husband and I completed the session with my sister and her partner. The session felt informal and relaxed, and we had some fun together practicing on the mannequins, whilst learning important life skills such as how to respond to choking or when somebody is not breathing. The session was full of informative information, and we were able to purchase a booklet with everything covered, and a first aid kit from Keri. Keri is very knowledgeable, passionate about saving lives and answered all of our questions. She is warm, friendly and experienced. We would definitely recommend Keri if you want to learn how to be prepared in an emergency situation. Thank you so much for your expertise :)

DON’T BE SCARED OF A DEFIB ⚡

Most people don’t use a defib because they’re scared of doing it wrong.

Here’s the truth 👇

You cannot make things worse.
Defibs talk to you.
They tell you exactly what to do.
And they will only shock if it’s needed.

I’m here to educate, empower, and give you the confidence to step in when it really matters 💛

Because knowing how to use a defib could save someone’s life.

Would you know what to do? 👀

Save this. Share this. Learn this or DM me to book in for a session and I will teach you!

World Cancer Day is on 4th Feb, so here is a gentle reminder of how important it is to know your own body and what feels normal for you.

Small changes are often nothing to worry about, but you are the expert on your own body. If something feels different, lasts longer than expected, or just does not feel quite right, trusting your instincts and get it checked out.

Having these conversations does not need to feel scary.

Early checks are about care, not fear, and most of the time they lead to reassurance 💞

Sending love, kindness, and support to anyone dealing with cancer right now 🙏❤️

DROWNING FIRST AID: 2026 UPDATE 🚨

If someone has drowned or nearly drowned, rescue breaths now come FIRST 🫁

Why?

Drowning is caused by lack of oxygen — not a sudden heart problem. So the priority is getting oxygen back into the body as quickly as possible 💨

✅ If they’re unresponsive and not breathing normally:

👉 Call 999
👉 Open the airway
👉 Give 5 rescue breaths
👉 Then continue with CPR as advised

This change could save a life ❤️

Knowing what to do — and when to do it — really matters

Would you know this in an emergency? 🤔

SEPSIS: TRUST YOUR INSTINCTS 🚨

Sepsis is a life-threatening emergency that happens when the body overreacts to an infection.

It can progress very quickly, which is why acting fast can save a life ⏱️

As a parent, you know your child better than anyone.

If they seem more unwell than you’d expect…
If symptoms are worsening…
Or if something just doesn’t feel right — trust that feeling 💔➡️❤️

👉 Seek urgent medical attention immediately.

You are never wasting anyone’s time 🙏

The death of a young child is always heartbreaking to read about 💔

But stories like this matter — because they can save lives...

PLS UNDERSTAND - Small, loose magnets are extremely dangerous ⚠️

If swallowed, they can attract to each other through a child’s intestines, tearing through the gut and causing devastating, life-threatening injuries 👀

If you have young children at home 👶🏽🏡 please avoid toys or household items with small magnets — ALL VARIETIES!

Please share this to help raise awareness and protect other families 🔁❤️

Popcorn – national popcorn day – 19th Jan

Choking is silent and happens very quickly. So it’s important to know what to do when it happens and to act fast.

It’s also important to do whatever you can to prevent children from choking.

Here are some of the top choking hazards for children under 5.

Please remember:

STAY with young children when they’re eating.

Make sure children are STILL while they are eating. A child running around with food in their mouth is much more likely to choke.

SAVE this post so you can refer back to it and please share it with you friends with little people.
