Video: Find out what this Saudi woman did for her Filipina nannies retiring after 36 years


Before parting, Raha managed to set up their Skype and WhatsApp accounts so that they can stay in touch. "I taught them how to dial on Skype and tutored them on sending videos and photos. They have become expert on Facebook now and keep commenting on and liking my pictures." 

News about few families abusing their employed help leaves Raha unsettled. "It bothers me how few people in the region are ignorant about the fact that these nannies leave their own children to take care of other people's kids - to make a living."  

With her videos on Instagram, Raha hopes to pass a message that people need to see these amazing people as family "because they are your family".

At the end of our trip, we explored downtown Manila. Rosa and Lumi were both born and raised in the Philippines, but they’d never been there before. It was really cool to explore the city with them, because it was new for all of us. I laughed when I watched this clip because of Rosa’s older sister Nita’s mixup at the end of the clip and how Rosa always got grumpy and frowned when the camera was on! It shows how giving she is because she’d put up with something she didn’t like because I asked her to be in my videos. Love is beautiful. It reaches across oceans and time to connect us, whether related or not, until we leave pieces of our hearts scattered across the world. Words can’t express how much you both mean to me and I’ll forever fall short in being able thank you enough for taking care of us all. Love you my Lola’s. #Philippines #adventure #explore #worldnomad #naturalhair #iphonex

Following her videos, many domestic helps from the Middle East and other parts of the world wrote in to her. Many thank her for leading an example of good employers in the Middle East.
