🍳 Online Cooking & Kitchen Safety Course
Keep children safe, handle emergencies like a pro, and make mealtimes stress-free.
At The Au Pair Club, we know how quickly accidents can happen in the kitchen. One moment everything’s calm, the next, a child touches a hot pan or a certain food item triggers a food allergy. That’s why we created this Cooking & Kitchen Safety Course: to help you cook safely, prevent common accidents, and care for children confidently during mealtimes.
This course is just R600 (about $30 USD) and takes only 5 hours to complete. You’ll get lifetime access to the Au Pair Academy, a certificate to add to your CV, and access to our Job Portal to find childcare jobs.
Whether you’re new to cooking or want to sharpen your skills, this course will help you become the safe, trusted caregiver families rely on.
