A large mirror over your shoulder is a good idea to have anyway; it allows you to look at your painting with a fresh eye. If it is positioned in such a way so you can see both your canvas and your model at the same time, even better. Also, you can position it so your sitter can see the canvas as you work if you want, so they can see how the painting is progressing during the sitting. It helps them feel more a part of the process and they get less bored as they sit.
