[nfb-talk] Finding an assistant

[Star Gazer]

				There is nothing magical about churches, and
we attend one regularly. 
Observe the people you interact with, no matter where and how you meet them.
Make sure their behavior is appropriate to the relationship and the
situation. 
Your banker probably knows more about how, when, and where you spend your
money then your mom. That's fine, that's why the banker is your banker. Now,
if your banker said "I'd like to come over and give your kid a bath", alarm
bells would ring as the offer is not appropriate to the relationship. 
That's true of all people and all relationships. 
You can give or not give any information or any object to anybody you'd
like. Likewise, anybody can ask you for anything. You need to decide what is
appropriate for the relationship and the situation.

I most definitely would not with a capital N, trust them with any
confidential information.

A good place to check for an assistant/driver are churches.  These days,
maybe just me, I would not trust Craig's list or the paper either.  Check
around with the people you know who might know someone.  If you can find a
few, you can develop a pool to call on.

If you have very personal information you need to divulge, make an
appointment with personnel at your bank.

Hope this helps.

Hi all,

I have recently lost my eyesight. I am thinking about finding a paid sighted
assistant to help me here and there occasionally. Could someone please
recommend a way to find an assistant for hire?

Unfortunately I don't have any relatives in this country (I live in
Washington state). My friends can help me sometimes, but they are all busy,
and I would like to find a reliable way of solving small problems, like
filling out a form or walking me to a new unfamiliar place.

I don't need assistant's services often; perhaps an hour every week or even
every two weeks. I can afford paying a reasonable amount of money for this.
I tried craigslist in my area, but I only saw professionals like dentist's
assistants offering their servies.

And also do you guys think is it ok to trust a paid assistant some sensitive
information, like my SSN?

(This is my first message here, so please forgive me if it's not the right
place to discuss such a question).

Thanks
Tony
