Viral Kenyan nanny Roseline "Rosie" Atieno has chosen to continue her employment in Lebanon with her former employer, surprising many Kenyans who anticipated her relocation to Canada.

Rossie gained widespread attention for her heartwarming story, attracting numerous opportunities. One notable offer came from Catherine Joe, the director of Vintmark Travel Agency, who proposed a job worth KSh 30,000 and a sponsored student visa for Canada.

Despite the excitement from netizens urging Rossie to seize the golden opportunity, she decided to return to Lebanon with her children.

This choice left many bewildered, with netizen Leinathan Otiemel questioning the dilemma between a job and education. On the other hand, Nila Natwati defended Rossie's right to choose her destiny.

Various reactions from netizens included Lillian Ythera expressing surprise that Vintmark did not send her to Canada,.

Aus Baibe Nya Masaat humorously requested the Canadian scholarship, and Maina Esther suggested that perhaps someone else received the Canada opportunity.

Another development revealed that Rossie's Lebanese boss acknowledged the Canada opportunity in a TikTok video, stating that Rossie seriously considered the offer.

The boss had earlier encouraged Rossie to stay in Kenya with her children instead of returning to Lebanon.

Rosie gained widespread in December recently when a video capturing her emotional farewell from the Lebanese family she had been working for went viral.

In a recent interview with Pancras Karema, CEO of Expeditions Maasai Safaris, Rosie, a mother of three, shared the reasons behind her decision to leave Kenya for the Levant.

She revealed that her journey to Lebanon was prompted by the challenges in her personal life, particularly her exit from a marriage that was not working.

Seeking better opportunities, Rosie chose to relocate to the Middle East in October 2021 to provide a brighter future for her children.

Describing the initial meeting with the family, Rosie said, "The first experience with the family when we met at the airport, the mother of the kids just said, ‘Wow’ when she saw me. We blended from the first day."

Lebanon started feeling like home for Rosie, and she hasn't set a definite date for her return to Kenya. Despite this, she plans to continue working with the same family until the children are a bit older.
