Introduction: Experience and knowledge of current training techniques. I love being able to teach people from 27 years of real experiences. You can teach all day long but when you haven't experienced what you are teaching you really aren't teaching at all. My experience allows me to teach a broad spectrum of clients.

Having worked with children for 10+ years, I have had to take the CPR and First Aid course many times, sitting for several hours for each course each time. Taking it online and testing out with Caryn was definitely the way to go! I was able to do it on my own time and at my own pace. (Which was a lot shorter than if I had gone to take the classes). Caryn was very professional and the equipment was in good condition and clean. I loved all the extra little tips that I probably wouldn't have gotten in a classroom setting and knowing that I can call on her if I have any questions in the future is great. I was dreading having to go do the demonstration part, as my fiancé had passed away two years earlier, and I had done chest compressions on him. I let Caryn know that ahead of time and she was very sensitive to my situation regarding that. Overall, it ended up being a great experience and if I'm still in this area again in two years, I will definitely be giving Caryn a call!

I need to complete a CPR/First Aid training class fast! Caryn responded within hours to my Thumbtack inquiry and was able to help me complete the training the next day. I completed an online portion and then met with Caryn for the skills training and testing. Caryn was friendly and personable and easy to work with. Her training area and equipment was clean and in good condition. I hope to contact her in the future to provide training for members of our Scout troop.

CPR Review I highly recommend the professional and engaging healthcare curriculum provided by Breath of Life. Caryn eased the learning processing by presenting the information in a engaging manner. I would refer diverse learning styles and large groups to seek out the services of Breath of Life. BOL is prompt and professional!

What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Initially I like to know what it is they need the training for. This allows me to prepared a more tailored class for the individual so that it is appropriate for their needs. I try to be very reasonable on price because this is an essential skill that not only is a requirement for jobs but can be a skill that saves the life of someone they love. After we figure out their needs either I travel to or the client is welcome to come to my home and we have the class.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have been involved in some aspect of lifesaving since I was very young starting with being involved in American Red Cross Lifeguarding and swim lessons. I became a junior volunteer on the ambulance when I was 15. When I turned 18 I took my first Emergency Medical Technician course and rode as a volunteer. After I graduated from college I applied to Fire Department of New York where I worked for 3 years. I was a initial responder to the World Trade Center attack. I relocated to VA in 2003 where I worked as an Emergency Medical Technician at the Virginia Hospital Center Emergency Room. I then was hired by Arlington County Fire Department and am currently in my 10th year as a Firefighter/Paramedic.
