Alternative for family daycare in Helsinki
Before starting daycare or as an alternative to family daycare, a Tuttu babysitter in Helsinki can take care of your baby or toddler. If you didn’t get a nearby daycare spot or if your baby is too young for external childcare, choosing your own experienced and familiar babysitter at home can be a good solution. Recurring assistance from your dedicated babysitter costs an average of €25.99 per hour before the household tax deduction and €16.90 per hour after.
We have many interviewed and skilled babysitters in Helsinki, and according to family preferences, we also check, for example, criminal background extracts and references, as well as any qualifications and first aid certificates. We find a babysitter for each child whose schedule, qualifications, and previous experience match the family's wishes.
Even though the babysitter comes to your home, in Helsinki, the babysitter can take your baby or toddler to places like the new Kalasatama library, the natural history museum, or for a stroller walk in the nearby nature.
NOTE: If you need a babysitter for more than 15 hours per week, ask us separately about discounted prices!
