As somebody who has worked for her fair share of micromanagers, I would encourage you to make it known that you're available to help, but not ask for constant updates. Give deadlines, offer support, and let them do their job. If they aren't doing their job, that's when you can intervene. But micromanaging is really bad for morale and teaches your employees that you don't trust them to do the job.
Good advice from HRG1! I’d also establish a cadence of connection points consistent with the rest of the team. If your team is big enough, you can provide a peer mentor for the new person - someone on the team that can be their first point of contact for questions they have while coming up to speed. That enables the new employee to ask questions and get help when needed without you having to be all up in their business, which demonstrates trust in them and in the team as a whole. That also helps build rapport in the team.
