Emotional Moment as Lebanese Family Says Goodbye to Kenyan Nanny

It was an emotional moment at a Lebanese Airport as a native family in the country found it difficult to say goodbye to a Kenyan nanny.

In videos shared on Tik Tok and YouTube, Maria and Cataleya- a Lebanese couple who had hosted the Kenyan nanny named Rossie for years posted videos of her family bidding goodbye.

The children, including two young twins, held on to Rossie and bitterly broke into tears as she attempted to leave. 

Further, the kids cried while the father tried to calm them down.

Moved by the children’s and family’s love shown to her, Rossie eyes turned watery and for some time appeared torn between her decision to leave or spend more time with two young girls. 

In the video, the children’s father repeatedly thanked Rossie for her dedication to taking care of their children and for having been like a family to them.
