Homeschool consultants will offer to help you do everything from handling your paperwork to overseeing your child's education. Before you hire one, there are things you should be aware of.

I always role my eyes at the homeschooling consultant posts or ads. Very often they seem to be people who toute their experience in some field like teaching or tutoring. Yeah thanks, that's very often not worth much when it comes to homeschooling though.
The other thing I found is that the process of researching and learning about homeschooling was what laid the foundation for me being able to find and gather resources I use in homeschooling my children. It's a pain to have to google and lurk in message boards to find out what unschooling is but down the road those skills you used to find that out will come in handy when you need to find free mesopotamia coluring sheets. :)
I suppose some parents will find consultants useful but there's a very large contigency of us that are too independent minded to make use of them I think.
Anyhow, I think your post was great!
I never heard of a HS consultant before. Perhaps that's because California doesn't make families jump through hoops in order to HS.
I would consider hiring someone to help put together a portfolio if one was required for some reason (like high school/college admissions).
