Prepare for a First Visit from a Helper

Inviting someone into your home is personal. A first visit should give you room to explain what matters and ask questions. You can choose to have a trusted person present if that would make you more comfortable.

Before the visit, write down the task, the expected price, and what is outside the agreement. Discuss access to the home, cancellation arrangements, and how concerns will be handled. Put private documents away and share only information needed for the task. Notice whether the person respects your instructions and pace.

Try this: Prepare three questions you want answered before work begins.
