The Instructor
Zsuzsanna Hadnagy
Infant First Aid and CPR Instructor • Also a mother
During the course, she supports participants not only as a healthcare professional, but also as a mother — offering practical, empathetic, and easy-to-follow guidance to help parents know what to do until help arrives. Her goal is for participants to leave feeling informed, capable, and confident through both knowledge and hands-on practice.
By the end of the session, the group often becomes a small supportive community, learning not only from the instructor, but also from each other’s questions and shared practice while working through realistic scenarios in a safe and welcoming environment.
