Curon Helpperi – Babysitter or nanny at Home
Flexible Childcare from a Familiar Helper
Curon’s helpers, or maids, are here to help with your baby-sitting needs. With regular visits, our maid becomes a trusted nanny for your family, providing invaluable support during the busy years of parenting. They learn your family’s routines and can assist not only with childcare but also with other household tasks. Our Filipino maids are known for their love for children and extensive experience in childcare. They speak English and, in some cases, Finnish.
All Curon’s baby-sitting and housekeeping services come at the same affordable rate, with a clear weekly fee for visits. Additionally, you can claim a household deduction for these services on your taxes.
Our service areas are Helsinki, Espoo, Vantaa, and Kauniainen.

Explore our pricing
Our helpers, or housekeepers, flexibly perform a variety of tasks. You decide how much support your household needs: from cleaning every other week to daily assistance – or something in between. Choose from our service packages: Mini, Basic, or Power. In addition to these packages, you can also book a helper 4–5 days a week, or choose a full-day visit every other week. The minimum regular subscription is a half-day visit every other week. Visit durations are either 3 hours 30 minutes or 7 hours 30 minutes. New subscriptions begin with a fixed three-month contract, which then converts into a regular ongoing contract.
If you don’t need regular service, you can also purchase flexible 1-, 5-, or 10-visit passes from our online store. Please note that with these passes, we cannot guarantee a fixed schedule or a regular helper.
In addition to cleaning, the helper can assist with tasks such as cooking, laundry care, childcare, elderly care, pet care, and light garden and yard work.
Our helpers work in the Helsinki, Espoo, Vantaa, and Kauniainen areas. If you need a helper in another area, please contact us!

Not Just Childcare! Helpers Help Families with Other Tasks Too:

Laundry
Ironing and folding
Cooking

Running errands
Organizing
Childcare
Care for the elderly
Pets
Gardening
One helper will primarily visit your home, getting to know your family's preferences and needs. Weekly visits on the same weekday ensure personalized service. Since each of our helpers has a limited number of clients, the quality and safety of the service remain excellent. With weekly visits, your helper can do more than just the weekly cleaning. This way, our employee can also ensure that your home remains consistently clean and comfortable.
Our helpers speak fluent English and varying levels of Finnish. You can receive service assistance from Curon in Finnish.
Our pricing is simple: you pay a per visit fee, and the total amount of your monthly invoice depends on how many visits have taken place during the month. The minimum weekly order is one half day visit every other week, but you get a lower hourly rate if you book a helper for a full day. You can book your slot for either the morning or afternoon, for a full day, or for several days a week.
Miksi valita kotiapulainen?
Home perfectly maintained, every week
Your familiar helper takes care of all the tasks you agree on together. Why settle for just weekly cleaning? A helper can do much more, such as laundry care, light gardening, grocery shopping, or running errands.
Delicious food, cooked in your own home!
Your helper is a good cook. You can give her recipes of your own choice to cook alone or together, or ask her to surprise you with her own favorites.
Care for your loved ones
Children, pets, and the elderly are important to the helper. You can rely on her when you don’t have enough time to take care of your loved ones or pets, or when it feels like there is too little time for shared activities.
