Here in CT, we are required to have an emergency caregiver but that is considered different than a substitute. My aunt is my emergency caregiver but she doesn't have to be fingerprinted or have First Aid, etc. She just had to be able to get here within 10 minutes and her duty would be simply to call parents and tell them to pick up their kids due to the emergency. I might consider asking her to be the substitute since I'd just need her for appointments anyway. (My husband couldn't be it as his work shift is the same as mine. My parents are disabled and live quite a distance away anyway.) I'll look into the licensing requirements/differences between the two positions a bit more. Thanks.
