I’m going abroad to work as an au pair and want good health insurance

Are you going abroad soon as an au pair? This is the perfect way to immerse yourself in a language and culture. The quickest way to learn a country’s customs is to work for a family. Obviously, you’re going to leave well prepared. You’re making arrangements with the family where you are going to work. You’re establishing whether you need a visa or a work permit and perhaps considering whether you can also do a language course. And maybe you’ll be adding on some holiday time or visiting family or acquaintances. You naturally want to take out good insurance, because you don’t want to think about what can go wrong. OOM Verzekeringen has the insurance solution for you.
