Hiring a PA locally instead of Upwork.com

[Daric Myers]

I have an LLC and would like to contract some of my less productive jobs out to a company like upwork. For what they charge I could hire locally to single mothers and other struggling people in my community. I need advice on moving forward. Do I pay cash, do track and give 1099? What info do they need? Upwork would certainly be easier, but I'm committed to making my community better. Any info is much appreciated. Thank you
