Insurances for foreign au pairs to The Netherlands
There are specific insurances for au pairs coming to The Netherlands. They cover for example, emergency medical costs, personal liability, extraordinary costs (for example a ticket home in case of serious illness, accident or death of a close relative) and during holidays in Europe with the host family. These insurances need to be taken out by the host family and before the au pairs leaves her home country.
In most cases, the following au pair insurances are the best options:
- ISIS au pair insurance
- Mondial Assistance
In some cases, a different insurance is necessary:
Is the au pair already in the Netherlands?
Is the au pair over 35 years old?
Keep in mind that pre-existing medical and dental ailments are never covered (this applies to all travel and au pair insurances).
