How can the au pair compare and book Dutch health insurance? 

• First read the useful information provided by the Dutch government https://www.government.nl/topics/health-insurance 
• We recommend Zorg en Zekerheid Health Insurer due to their experience with au pairs and extensive network. 
• Use comparison websites to find suitable insurance: 
• Independer 
• Zorgwijzer 
• We recommend that au pairs choose the highest deductible and lowest monthly cost to avoid a high premium.  Deductibles are often covered by the au pair insurance package, whereas if you are paying a high monthly premium, your health care benefit will fall significantly short of what you are paying.   Host families should cover the difference in the health insurance premium compared to the amount awarded by the government in healthcare benefit.
