Guardian login: eVaka Tampere online service
Instructions
On their first login, the guardian may create an user account they can later use to manage their daily affairs. Creating the user account requires strong identification (e-banking identification or a mobile certificate). Thereafter, is possible to use the user account to manage daily affairs, but some of the eVaka services require strong identification any time they are used.
There is no separate mobile app for the eVaka service. The service works in the browsers of various mobile devices and other computers, adapting to various screen sizes and shapes automatically. After logging in, you may create a browser view bookmark in the Home menu or start screen of your mobile device (precisely how this is done differs from device to device). This allows you easy access to eVaka as if it were a mobile app.
Electronic service
The custodian can receive decisions made in eVaka (early childhood education and care, service vouchers, client fees) as an electronic notification in the Suomi.fi-Messages service. However, you need to activate the suomi.fi messaging service first.
More information on the Suomi.fi messaging service
If the guardian chooses to not employ the Suomi.fi messaging service, the decisions will be sent by letter mail. We recommend activating the Suomi.fi messaging service.
The development of eVaka
The development of eVaka was kicked off in Espoo and the City of Tampere joined in the process in spring 2020. Tampere and Espoo have been developing eVaka in collaboration with support awarded by the Ministry of Finance.
From the beginning of 2022, the eVaka system will be developed in collaboration between four cities (Espoo, Tampere, Turku ja Oulu). New functions and electronic services are the result of the development users can enjoy also in future.
In the future, the users of the service, staff and guardians alike, will have the opportunity to participate in the development of the system with the designation of so-called pilot daycare centres in each of the cities. The pilot daycare centres will test out new functionalities and solicit user feedback before the new functionalities are further rolled out to all users.
