Control 15 / Service Provider Management

Classify Service Providers

Think of it likeSorting your home helpers by how much access they need, from the mail carrier at the door to the babysitter with a key.

In plain English

The family classifies their service providers based on how sensitive the work is and how much access it requires, just as they would treat a babysitter with a house key differently from a lawn service that never comes inside.
