Au Pair & Nanny Health Insurance
The recently introduced Affordable Care Act (popularly known as Obamacare) makes it mandatory for all US residents to have health insurance. Nannies or baby sitters who come to America from different countries might not be considered as US resident depending on their visa status, and hence Obamacare might not be applicable.However, Nannies should still ensure that they are covered by good health insurance. It is beneficial both for the sponsor/employer and for the nanny given the high cost of healthcare in the US. This is also true for nannies outside their home country.
