PROTRIP-WORLD Education – from our insurance partner DR-WALTER – is designed to cover the key risks that can arise during an au pair stay. It helps make sure your au pair has the right insurance in place — giving everyone peace of mind during the stay.
Welcoming an au pair into your home is an exciting experience — for your family and for your au pair.
At the same time, your au pair will be living abroad, often far from home. If something unexpected happens having the right insurance in place helps avoid unnecessary stress and costs.
As a host family, it is important to make sure that valid health insurance covers your au pair for the entire duration of their stay.
