A househelp for over 20yrs in Kenya; I've bought land, built my house & I run chamaz_Margaret

- Опубликовано: 16 дек 2021
- Margaret Ong'ayo, a mother of 3, tells her story of success as a house manager for over 20 years in Kenya.
In her line of work, she has done driving lessons, advanced her cooking skills and employee/employer relationship.
She would drop and pick her employers' children from school and play.
With a working contract, Margaret is well aware of her rights: a decent pay, a job description as well as an annual leave.
Savings from her monthly pay, which she equates to that of any other person who works in the formal sector, have enabled her to get into serious chamaz. In return, she has bought land in Kitale, built her house and in another piece of land she recently bought, she plans to build rentals, together with other domestic workers who have formed the group.
This is me with Margaret!
Thankyou for Keeping Kirathi Gia Carol Kinyugo Mwaura RUclips Channel.

Hey carol i like the way you interview People, you are very humble
Well-done Margaret you are my inspiration keep u the good work
@@wanguindungurecheal thankyou Wangui I'm humbled🙏🙏
Mimi 6yrs and am in my 20s l want to give up but God l won't give up,all nanny let's love ourselves and enjoy our work God time is the best.
Every job has dignity. Its just a stepping stone sometimes. My family treated our domestic workers very well, even paying for them to take courses. When I came to America, I worked low level jobs including housekeeping at a hotel. I took pride in my job and considered it a stepping stone to pay bills and college tuition. I'm now in a great profession, making good money but I never look down on domestic workers or housekeepers. They all love me since I treat them with dignity
Great!! We hope to have you on the channel someday to inspire others. Be blessed 🙏
@@KIRATHIGIACAROLKINYUGOMWAURA i would be happy to do that
Well said. Wira ni wira ! Kazi ni kazi! I really don’t agree with anyone who talks about how they hated their job. ?? Because they are over qualified or because it is in a foreign country. We do the jobs we do out of necessity. And no one is tied down to any particular job.. freedom of choice to stay , change or advance on the job you have is in the hands of the beholder. Altitude is everything.
Wow I like that ,big respect to you . You are one in a million . I do respect all those who treat our house manager as one of them because I don't understand if you can live your child with your house manager then mistreat her that is good of you Mercy you are role model
@@davidmaina4379 thanks so much. My parents taught me that growing up. I treated our house managers and farm hands like my they were my relatives. They all really loved me
And am here saudi feeling to give up..in my 30'S .....from today nashapa wira like never before
Tujikaze dear same to me here, i was almost giving up but now i have got energy like never before
If they're treating you right, please persevere, there will be brighter days. If you're being mistreated, please don't stay another minute

Wow! Wow! This Lady should consider opening a school for training house managers. I admire her effort & determination.
Amazing I know her we were working in the same estate before her bosses moved to uk
I also got mine ,But from gulf Countries,May God fulfill all of Us our heart desires
I'm in America and the woman that watches my daughter is White. She's so nice and dependable and we've never had any arguments or misunderstandings. I treat her kindly and reward her work. She in turn treats my daughter like her own. Please let's respect our domestic workers and pay them well. You wouldn't want to mistreat someone who's taking care of your kids or caring for your house
Wow! Great!
This lady full of wisdom she's destiny conecter thank kuleta huyo madam

Am really inspired by this mama , keep up Margaret, thanks Carol for highlighting such an inspiration,, Carol I wish you can please bring a financial advisor targeting to help those of us who are in gulf, am pitying some of those girls who come to gulf without financial literacy n they end up working so hard only to get back home empty handed , either being misused by their families or friends, they finally sink into depression, kindly Carol try and do something to safe atleast one girl
Hi Grace. Thankyou for that. I will do so
Great idea grace
I support you dear
Amazing Amazing. This is what we have been talking about , the narrative of many domestic workers will change once they embrace the job as a career and take up training in home care management. We are really inspired by the story and it has validated our vision of transforming domestic work from a circumstantial line of work to a decent career/profession of choice
Thankyou
House helps or domestic workers are human beings, I had mine for one year before we decided to relocate, I stayed with her for 8 years, 7 b in UK, we parted ways vizuri and she's progressed very well in her life. I am grateful I changed her life. Very inspiring story Margaret, keep it up.
Waaaw may God bless you, you are a good boss
God bless you
Mbura wa u k am hellen naomba unitafutie job uko ata kama niya house keeping ama cleaner I will work any kind of job nakama ni air ticket can pay for my own ama unihost dear plz guide me plz
@@hellenmuthoni820 I wish I can help, my kids are all big now. I am not sure if the domestic worker visas are still given but your host has to apply for you. All the best.
This is mind-blowing. I've shed tears
Carol you have got it! Please conduct all your interviews in English or Swahili. Keep it up!!!
Thanks Peter🙏
Definately we will appreciate.
sure not all understand kikuyu bt kiswahili or kizungu the better.... national language 👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾
I know lady margaret in person.. Shes kind and very friendly...
This lady seems so down to earth no wonder she has achieved a lot. People job is job all that matters is how you carry yourself. We've people who have office jobs with high pay but have done nothing for themselves coz of mismanagement. May God help us to be humbled before God and He'll lift us up. Margaret may God bless the work of your hands even more. Carol thank you for job well done God bless you and Merry Christmas to both of you love you people ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you so much Wangui. Be blessed too

Thankyou Ann🙏
@@KIRATHIGIACAROLKINYUGOMWAURA thx caro
Impressed. I respect Margaret. We need to up our game employers.
She sounds empowered..blessings to you 🙏
Thanks for doing this show Carol so that our africans employers who mistreat and look down on their domestic workers can see that those domestic workers are humans with big ambitions many just didn't get a fair chance at life. Speaking as a child of a former domestic worker now living in the united states, taken by my vmother who was a domestic worker with very big dreams when i came here 5 years ago. To all domestic workers watching this, you are worthy, you are treasured and the work you are doing right now is not the end of your road. There is a better tomorrow coz there is God who sees all and will bless the work of your hands and fulfill the desires of your heart.
Amen and thankyou for watching 🙏
Amen
Very inspiring and encouraging on how to plan the little one has. She is a disciplined lady and also very jovial. May God continue blessing her. Thanks Carol, watu wasidharau kazi ya nyumba.
Margaret you are one in many hizo developments ...that is so encouraging....God Bless
hey carol im hupy i feel so hupy and thnks alot for this interview very inspiring and lessons learned im also hpy for donig interview in kiswahili. my name is amina keep up the good work stay blessed
Thankyou so much Faruk🙏
Someday I will tell my story too I have been in Saudi for 8yrs and I always thank God I took the risk to come here instead of searching for work in kenya it's very true when you focus you can do more than someone working in Kenya offices. I'm so proud of my self because when am on vacation sometimes I wonder how I've managed to build my mansion and got rentals yaani unapata the people who know am working as a housemaid wonder how much am being paid because the kind of development I've done can't compare to someone working those good jobs in kenya .Still going strong and to the ladies starting housemaid job expecialy in middle east focus on your goals not what your friends are expecting because I've seen many ladies work for 4-6yrs without achieving any goal because they focus too much on only dress code and renting cars wakiwa vacation *kufuraisha marafiki*
Wow! Nice one... I hope to air your testimony here someday
@@KIRATHIGIACAROLKINYUGOMWAURA looking forward to it probably next year during my vacation
Thanks God bless my sister Margaret
Awww congrats mum

Lesson learnt, persistence n respect to your job
I enjoyed and got so inspired by this interview. I remember that I still have close connections with our former workers who took care of us as kids. I also have my one worker of over 30 years. Now he has his own business and just comes to work 3 times a week since we are out of the country!
Wow! Great! Share with us this story when you can. Thankyou
Ambitious woman n hardworking one,may God continue stand on her side.

Thankyou Ruth
God bless this lady for me
This is how it is with all my employees. A contract sets everything straight and it protects both parties. The same benefits I get at work, they also get. The working hours are set and her roles are clear.
We have a respectable employer-employee relationship and there is no exploitation. I would like her to leave my home established with her own boma...her work is good & I thank God for her despite me being waaaay younger than her.
Hi D, could you kindly give us an interview from an employer's perspective. If yes, kindly get me on Whatsapp 0722 919062
Tuwalipe wafanyi kazi yetu vizuri ili tuwajenge jamii zetu. Ahsante sana kwa huu maojiano. Tuna matajiri wengi Afrika ilhali hawajali wafanyi kazi.

Woow this is great...knowing your value and Worth
Thanks for encouraging us Carlo for your class show
Very informative. She also has a clean heart
Wah nime pewa challenge, uyo mother ako poa kimawazo.
Great interview. Very happy disposition Margaret. This is the job most people in the diaspora are doing, but wengi huwa hawasemi. It's a blessed job if we all trust God. Na hakuna kazi isiyo kazi. Thanks Carol for bringing Margaret.
The good thing about working with a contract, the hours and the terms of service are clearly drawn in the contract. I do child care work too and if my employer wants me to work for extra hours, she has to pay me cash for the extra hours worked.
We love you Carol for encouraging us with the vlogs keep dropping them beautiful
Thankyou too🙏🙏
Every job is a job, provided you know what you are doing
African employers need to learn from the white people who Margaret worked for. Respect Respect Respect 🙏 👏.
That is so true. My parents used to treat our domestic workers so well. They would even pay for their school fees to take trade classes. My dad built our shambaa help a house to retire in ,in his village. I believe that's why their children are blessed and we are following in their footsteps
This woman is wise 👏👏👏👏👏
I really love her efforts she's very hard working lady. Inspiring interview.
