Treat interaction and conversation as you would in the workplace.

Don’t hover
Show them what needs to be done.
Show them where things are stored.

Addressing issues

If unhappy about performance, bring it up immediately and discuss in a professional manner. Either leave a friendly note or show them what the problem is.

NEVER accuse anyone of a crime unless you have iron-clad proof. For example, a missing item may have been moved by someone else.

If pleased, let them know with a nice note or kind words. Think about how much you like a pat on the back for a job well-done.
