Short term child care
The childcare service points and eLastenhoito.fi were closed on December 15, 2024. MLL still provides childcare services in Lahti and Kainuu.
The Mannerheim League for Child Welfare (MLL) offers you help with child care. The League’s child care service is meant to meet temporary and short term needs for child care assistance, around the clock, also on weekends.
The Mannerheim League for Child Welfare has a pool of babysitters. They are trained and suitable to work with children. A typical babysitter is a student under 20 years of age. In addition to the initial training, MLL also provides advanced training, supervision and counseling to babysitters on a regular basis. Qualified babysitters hold a valid license issued by MLL.
Short term child care service is available for example when
- a parent is on a business trip, in a meeting, or studying
- parents need a break for hobbies or to spend some time together
- the child’s permanent caregiver is ill
One babysitter can take care of maximum 4 children at a time.
