Preparing for your au pair stay also means making sure you’re properly insured. Here you’ll find an insurance option available through our partner DR-WALTER.
Au pair insurance – Travel with peace of mind
Going abroad? Make sure you’re protected.
Starting your au pair journey is exciting. A new country, a new family, new experiences.
But when you’re living abroad, unexpected things can happen — from getting sick to losing your luggage. That’s why having proper health insurance is essential for your stay.
We recommend PROTRIP-WORLD Education from our trusted partner DR-WALTER.
What is PROTRIP-WORLD Education?
It is an international health insurance for your stay abroad as an au pair. It covers medical treatment if you get sick or require medical care during your time abroad.
When booking your insurance online, you can also add additional coverage, such as:
- Accident insurance
- Liability insurance
- Baggage insurance
- Emergency assistance
You decide how much protection feels right for you.

Extra support right on your phone
With PROTRIP-WORLD Education, you also get free access to additional digital support tools for the duration of your insurance.

This gives you extra support right in your pocket while you’re abroad.
Who pays for the insurance?
This is something you should discuss with your host family and clarify before your stay begins.
The cost can be covered by the au pair, the host family, or shared — and sometimes parents may also decide to contribute. What matters most is that valid insurance is in place for the entire duration of your stay abroad.
Insurance for an au pair stay is often more affordable than many au pairs expect.
With PROTRIP-WORLD Education, standard premiums currently start from:
-
29.40 EUR per month for au pairs travelling within the EU.
-
38.70 EUR per month for worldwide travel excluding the USA and Canada.
Exact costs depend on the destination and coverage selected.
Our partner DR-WALTER can give you all the information you need to handle this important aspect of hosting an au pair.
Ready to travel with peace of mind?
Living in another country can bring unexpected situations. Having insurance designed specifically for young people travelling abroad helps ensure that you are properly protected if something happens.
Your au pair year is a big adventure. Being well prepared — including having the right insurance — allows you and your host family to focus on enjoying the experience with peace of mind.
