Does the family have to take out insurance for me?

Private babysitters and nannies
Yes, the family must take out accident insurance because this insurance is compulsory in Switzerland. If you are older than 17, they must also register you with social insurance (AHV).

Self-employed childminders
If you are self-employed (with corresponding confirmation from the AHV compensation fund), discuss with the family which insurances you have already taken out and which may still need to be taken out. If self-employment is confirmed, no accident insurance is required on the part of the household.
