Assistance of a family worker

The family work (home service for families with children) provides help according to a family’s needs at a given moment.

It is possible to reserve the assistance of a family worker who then helps in taking care of the children, preparing meals or carrying out other daily activities at home.
The family worker also guides parents in issues related to children’s education and provides information on other services for families with children.
