Procedure descriptions
Accident insurance - register day care
As a day care worker, you must register yourself with the accident insurance. You are then insured for accidents at work, commuting accidents and occupational diseases.
Attention: Even if you have taken out private accident insurance, you still have to take out compulsory insurance.
The Employer's Liability Insurance Association calculates and sets the annual premium for the current year retroactively only in the following year.

Prerequisite
The prerequisite is that you are a self-employed day care worker. This is usually the case if you look after several children (at most five foreign children) from different families. It is irrelevant whether you look after them at home or in other suitable rooms.
This also applies to
- self-employed day carers who look after children from only one family and
- day carers arranged and financed by the Youth Welfare Office within the meaning of § 23 SGB VII.
Exceptions are possible.
Day carers who are employed in the household of the child to be cared for are not legally insured against accidents as employees of the household via the BGW, but via the public accident insurance institutions, in Baden-Württemberg the Unfallkasse Baden-Württemberg.
