Home help for families with children

  • Service

Home help for families with children supports families when everyday life cannot be managed on their own. Such situations may include, for example, pregnancy, childbirth, a family crisis, or a parent's illness or exhaustion.

The childminder can help, for example, with

  • outdoor activities and play
  • taking children to and from places
  • morning and evening routines
  • putting children down for nap ...

Do the following

If you are applying for a service voucher, contact the social services for families with children in your wellbeing services county. Once you receive the voucher, check whether we are a service provider in your area and contact us.

If you buy childcare yourself, fill in the order form or call us. We reply within 24 hours on weekdays.

Information on all service channels is not available in your chosen language. Change the language of the site to receive information on service channels in other languages.

To whom and on what terms

Home help for families with children under the Social Welfare Act is granted by your wellbeing services county, which assesses the family's need for help. If the service is arranged with a service voucher, its content follows the county's guidelines. We are a service voucher provider in several wellbeing services counties.
