home visitor

Someone stopping by

A home visitor is someone who makes professional or official visits to people's homes, typically to provide services, support, or assessment.

The term most often refers to healthcare workers, social workers, or educators who conduct in-home consultations: The home visitor checked on the new mother and baby each week.

In early childhood programs, home visitors help parents support their children's development.
