EEEK! Homestudy visit on Tuesday.

[ChristyMarie]

What do I do? Do I offer snacks? Drinks? Coffee? It is scheduled from 10-1 so I know I'll be hungry but I don't want to be too over the top, ya know?

What have you all done?

[Polliwog]

I would offer snacks and beverages. The person might not accept but it's a nice touch. Especially since you'll be meeting for a long time and crossing over lunch time.

I was in your shoes just a few months ago! The worker may or may not partake, but especially since it is around lunch time, I would have some snacks available...cheese and crackers or nuts would be some of the things I would think about for the protein at that hour. If it were me, I would also make sure to eat something shortly before the worker arrived...in case the worker does not eat and you don't feel comfortable eating without him/her.

I am sure it will be fine...that's what everyone told me when I was so nervous, and it was. In my case, I offered my worker something the first 2 visits and she refused both times so I did not offer the 3rd time. I have heard of workers, accepting, though and am glad I offered.

We had a small meat/ cheese tray and some veggies... however we were sooo nervous we forgot to put them out

I think its wonderful to offer treat and drinks. We were blessed with a calm laid back worker, but i remember how stressed i was before hand!
