Rosie, the Kenyan nanny who touched hearts with an emotional farewell captured on video, has become an internet sensation, earning her not only the love of the family she cared for in Lebanon but also a well-deserved free holiday.
Working diligently to care for four small children in Lebanon, Rosie, also known as Rozah Rozalina Samson, recently embarked on a holiday trip back to her homeland in Kenya. The emotional scene unfolded at a Lebanese airport, where the native family struggled to bid farewell to their beloved nanny.
In a heartwarming video, the children, particularly Maria and Cataleya, twins with a significant TikTok following, were seen crying and chasing after their affectionately called ‘aunty.’ The parents found it difficult to separate the kids from Rosie, demonstrating the strong bond she had formed with the family.
The emotional exchange resonated with onlookers at the airport, and the video quickly gained attention on social media, drawing admiration for Rosie’s dedication and the tearful goodbyes.
Expressing their gratitude, the parents captioned the video, “Thank you, Rosie, for caring for my babies like they’re yours.” Before her departure, the family had thrown Rosie a birthday party, highlighting her as not just an employee but a cherished member of their family.
The touching video garnered massive attention in Kenya, prompting netizens to flood social media with messages of support and admiration for Rosie’s kindness towards the children.
One individual moved by the video is Pancras Karema, the CEO of Expedition Maasai Safaris, a travel company. In a public statement, Karema expressed the company’s determination to recognize, honor, and reward Rosie’s dedication. He stated, “We would like to gift her a memorable all-expenses-paid holiday as a token of our appreciation,” and called on the public to help locate Rosie.
In a subsequent post, Expedition Maasai Safaris emphasized Rosie’s “heart of gold” and announced their intention to celebrate her with a free holiday waiting for her in Kenya. The company recognizes Rosie’s representation of the dedication, passion, and humility exhibited by Kenyan workers worldwide.
