A visit
How a visit goes
- 01
Step 1: The crew arrives with your key
The key comes out of our locked box in the morning and is signed for by the person who carries it. If the alarm needs a code, the person who holds it enters it.
- 02
Step 2: The day's rooms, in order
The same sequence every week, so nothing is skipped and nothing is rushed.
- 03
Step 3: A check before leaving
The crew member who leads that day walks the day's rooms against your card.
- 04
Step 4: The note
A line goes in the log. On Fridays Enid leaves you a written note on the kitchen counter.

Questions about the week
Can the crew work while we are home?
Yes. Some households prefer it, some leave us the house. The house card says which, and a single day can change by text.
How many people come?
Two for most houses, three for the largest. They are the same people each week, listed on your card by first name. If one is away, Enid tells you who covers.
What if we are away for a month?
Tell us the dates. We pause the week with the notice on the policies page and keep your day open for your return.
Ask for a week written to your house
Enid walks the house with you, writes the week and sends it in draft. The number comes in writing before anything is booked.
