I would be extremely angry. In my state our assistants and substitutes must be at least 18 years old and have 3 years of qualified experience. As a parent, I would never leave my child alone with a 14 year old child, especially a child I new nothing about in regards to experience, friends, extra curriculars ect. Not to mention this "child" watching children had a few children at the same time. Very dangerous in my opinion. In my state, it is also mandatory that we notify parents if there is a sub/assistant caring for the children.

As a provider, I find this completly irresponsible and unprofessional. She should have invested in a wagon or double/tripple stroller if she wanted to walk. How did she react? Did you stay to speak to her?
