The assistant is "my" helper and you, as a daycare child are NOT in charge!
If the child continued with this behaviour after it was discussed with them, then yes I would talk to their parent.
I've never had an issue with a child once they understand and realize the limits that need to be imposed.

I would address it with the child, with the parent and with the sub. Everyone needs to be on the same page, imho.
