I am not married but I have occasional visitors of my grandma and my best friend. They are both approved subs. I tell parents I will inform them outside of any emergencies if I am planning on leaving children with them for any length of time but sometimes they are “just visiting” at pick up.

A few of my dcms have told me that they like that my best friend comes and visits the kids from time to time as they feel more comfortable the few times a year I do need to leave them in her care since they get to know her and I’m not leaving them with a complete stranger that doesn’t know their kids and their routines. My best friend works in retail here in town and it’s a pretty small town. She told me today she saw one of my daycare girls at the store this weekend and she yelled loud and proud “no mommy, go in (best friends names) check out line”. I of course already knew this bc dcm has texted me saying how cute it was.
