Yes, you read the title correctly: the Bahatis pay their housemaid a monthly salary of Ksh 100,000, which is probably more than what some white-collar professionals earn after working extremely hard. By simply doing household chores, Irine Nekesa earns a substantial amount of money and happily heads to the bank.
In an interview with NTV, the nanny revealed that the Bahatis have opened great doors for her, both in terms of social media exposure and financial stability. This news was disclosed by Nairobi gossip club on their Instagram page. In addition to her regular salary, Irine utilizes her social media platform as a side hustle, further boosting her income.
Irene, known for her infectious laughter and radiant smile, was introduced to the world of social media by her employer Diana B. She frequently appeared in the Bahati family’s videos on various social media platforms, surprising many with the strong bond she seemed to share with the family. However, some netizens believe that many of these videos, including their extravagant gift exchanges, are staged.
Irene Nekesa serves as an example of an employee who becomes a part of the family. Having lived with the Bahatis for five years, she has developed a deep bond with the entire family, including the children.
Diana Bahati has always been open about her admiration for Irene, frequently expressing her love, trust, and belief that she is heaven-sent. During the interview, Irene also mentioned that her employers encourage her to work harder and have introduced her to opportunities for smart money-making. She has even accompanied the family on vacations and outings, further emphasizing her inclusion as a valued member of the Bahati household.
