Our nanny is on a Kaiser policy and she is very happy with it. We pay a little more than $500 a month. I think that covers the full premium (but I really don’t know). I make our checks directly to Kaiser.


This is v helpful - will look into Kaiser.

Most nannies live paycheck to paycheck largely because of health insurance costs.

Hopefully your nanny get a nice and fair salary; in a live-in position. If you will decide help her at least paying with %50. So maybe if she is agree to pay the other %50 from her budget.

Even if you can’t cover the entire premium, you can provide reimbursement for a portion.


Right, that's a good idea, thanks so much.

I wanted to get her health insurance. The individual market is incredibly expensive (6-700 / mo for high deductible plans.)
What do most nannys here do for health insurance? Are there any more reasonable options? And can she qualify for federal subsidies?
Thank you!



We pay our nanny’s insurance monthly ($650). Most employers in my circle either pay in full or in part.

Your nanny can try the Obamacare exchange (I think it's Open until January but I’m not sure).


Really helpful -- thank you!

Right, I see.. Eesh. So do most nannies just go without it or do some of them get it for themselves somehow?
