Certified first responder

A certified first responder is someone who has been specially trained to help people who might be hurt or sick. They have learned how to give first aid, which means helping someone with basic medical care before doctors or nurses arrive.

Imagine you're playing outside and your friend falls and gets a really big cut on their knee. A certified first responder is someone who knows how to help your friend by putting a bandage on the wound or talking to them to make sure they stay calm while waiting for the ambulance to come.

Being a certified first responder is really important because they can be the first person to help during an emergency. By learning how to provide basic medical care, they can help save lives and make sure people feel more comfortable and safe when they're hurt or sick.
