I have checked and although I am sure that there is web site..cannot find one..
You need to find a "model agency" that specialises in children.
I tried my best guesses on Google and found nothing relevant.
Perhaps someone with better Finnish skils will be luckier.
I kept find stuff about Childrens Modeling (clay).

But it is not an easy way to make cash.
Here is an example..
My son has identical twins and they are on the books of an agency in UK and have appeared in a few TV adverts.
I asked him what are the steps.

They will want a portfolio of photographs as a first step.
They might then ask for the child to come and have a screen test. (it took him 3 agencies to get to that step).
If that goes well then you sit and wait for phone calls to come to the studio.
You must respond immediately as they have others on their books and saying "they are with Grandma for a couple of days is next week OK?" might well be the end of the career.
Initialy fees are not great. but...
Once the kid(s) has been seen a few times in the media, the fees become "interesting".
I asked for an example..ITV advert that ran for several weeks = 2K£.
People do not become more irritable as they grow old - they simply stop making the effort to avoid annoying others.

A bit small market for toddler models. When you look at the diaper etc. ads on TV they are always "international".

I know a lot of people from publishing business. When it comes to children modelling, it is usually just kids of a friend/neighbour/marketing secretary/your boss/your sister. And they don´t necessarily even get their fee in money.
