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.

What do you need a home helper for?

Family Helper

Everyday joy for families with young children

With helper's support, you'll have time for more than just running a family with kids. In addition to cleaning and housework, helper can help you by, for example, cooking, picking up your children from nursery, going out and playing with them, and helping with feeding or putting your young children down for their nap.

Senior citizen Helper

Service for elderly from one person

The helper brings joy to the life of a senior and prevents loneliness.

With the support of a helper, seniors have the opportunity to live longer in their own homes and receive assistance with cooking, outdoor activities, clothing care, and other tasks—things that cleaners or caregivers may not provide help with. Loved ones can worry less, knowing that a familiar helper is there to support the senior in their everyday life

Seniors may be eligible to receive the service at a VAT-free price due to reduced functional capacity caused by age or illness.

Personal Helper

Using your time more efficiently

A helper is a valuable household assistant when your home is important to you, but you struggle to find time to maintain it. You also prefer to use your limited time more efficiently on other tasks rather than housework.

When your time is limited, a helper keeps your home in order, cares for your clothes, walks your pets, and prepares delicious meals for you. Your home becomes a place where you can truly relax.

Why choose a home helper for your home?



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.
