Mom
Mom is often the anchor of the whole day, and the question where is mom can come up many times before bedtime. The picture below works as a steady reference in the schedule.

About this visual support
Mom is rarely just one card in a picture set, she is the reference point the whole day leans on. Many children come back to the same question several times a day: where is mom now, will she be home soon, is it her or dad picking up today.
A visual schedule with mom works best when her card appears even when she is not the one running the activity. Place her card at pickup from preschool, at dinner, at the meeting she is at right now. The picture is then not a portrait, it is a slot in time, which is easier to relate to for a child who finds the feeling of waiting hard.
A concrete tip: use the same photo or the same pictogram of mom across the whole day, so the child can follow her through the schedule without mixing up versions. In the Routined app you can pin mom on several time points in the same day and pair her card with a clock, so the child both sees and understands when she shows up again.
