For families with a baby under 1 year old who cannot get help from relatives or others during the day, a contractor commissioned by the city sends a housework and childcare helper. You can ask for housework such as preparing meals, laundry, cleaning and shopping, and help with breastfeeding/bottle feeding, diaper changes and bathing the baby. It is free (actual shopping costs, transportation costs and similar are paid by you), and can be used for up to 60 hours until the day before the baby's first birthday.
