When a 2-year-old girl was pulled from the water unconscious and not breathing, Mariza Mojica immediately put her CPR training into action and helped save the child's life.

The incident happened Sunday afternoon at Versluis Park in Plainfield Township, Michigan. Around 4:30 p.m., Mojica saw a panicked mother rush from the water carrying her young daughter, who was unresponsive.

"Honestly, I just thought about my own kids," Mojica told News 8. "I would want somebody to do it for me."

At first, the terrifying scene left her frozen.

"At first I just froze," she recalled. "The mom was crying so I went over and took the baby out of her hands and started mouth to mouth."

Mojica is certified in CPR for infants, children, and adults through her job, and she immediately relied on that training. When the rescue breaths alone did not work, she switched to chest compressions.
