The elves, if you mean like Santa Claus' elves, are called "tonttu" or "tontut" in plural in Finnish.
In Finnish fairytales and pagan beliefs, you would have many tonttus at your farm/in your home: one for the house, one for the cowhouse, one for the drying barn... And of course one for the sauna. It was the job of these "house elves" to watch over the places they protected. Sometimes, though, the tonttu could become angry and, for example, dry off your cows. They were given porridge and other food to keep them happy.
There are also many other kinds of elves in the Finnish mythology, like "menninkäiset" or "sinipiiat", but these creatures lived in the forest.
