The city sends helpers who look after children and meals when a parent or child in a single-parent household is temporarily ill, right after becoming a single parent, when attending school for work or to learn skills, for weddings or funerals, and similar. In principle it is for households with a child in grade 3 of elementary school or below, and use of daycare and after-school care clubs takes priority. Each visit is 1 to 8 hours, up to 12 times a month per household. There is a charge depending on income.
Nationality and residence status
The official page (checked in October 2026) sets no condition on nationality or residence status that we found. Eligibility follows the official conditions, not the language of this page; many programs require resident registration in the municipality.
