Heidi, Food Services Coordinator at a Daycare

Porvoo Food and Cleaning Services

Every day has its moments of joy. For instance, when children thank you for the food and come to the kitchen door to tell us whatever is on their mind.

I am the Service Coordinator for Porvoo Food and Cleaning Services at the daycare Mäntykummun päiväkoti. I handle the daycare centre’s food from the moment the cold food arrives from the central kitchen. I take care of heating the meals, and I prepare the children’s breakfast and snacks. Dishwashing and cleaning are also part of my work, as well as making various orders.

Every day has its moments of joy. For instance, when children thank you for the food and come to the kitchen door to tell us whatever is on their mind. I listen to them even when I’m in a hurry. It’s part of my job, my little customers are important.

We service managers do a very important job. This work may not always be all that visible when everything goes as it should. I would also like to see a greater appreciation for the professionals in our field.

The City of Porvoo takes good care of its employees. The employer cares about us and finds ways to ensure that we employees cope well – so that we have energy left even after work to enjoy our free time.
