The heartwarming video has garnered immense attention in Kenya, accumulating millions of views. Netizens flooded social media with messages of support and admiration for Rosie's kindness towards the children.

This story stands in contrast to the often grim narratives told by many who seek employment in the Middle East. While some Kenyans working as house managers in the region face mistreatment and abuse, Rosie's experience and the love shown by her employers highlight a different and positive aspect of such relationships.
