How can I get health insurance as a nanny in Canada?

I will be going to Canada in a couple of months to live in a house and work as a nanny of a family. I know that I can only get public health care after 3 months, so what is the best (and cheapest) way to get insurance?
--------------------
New law that is being enforced on April 1 2010 - that all caregivers/nannies legally need health insurance when entering Canada. New Law: Health Insurance Employers of foreign live-in caregivers are now responsible for paying for their caregiver's health insurance at no cost to the caregiver until he/she becomes eligible for provincial health coverage. Employers are not permitted to recoup these costs from live-in caregivers. Contact any travel insurance company in Canada
