Here is the story of a friend of mine who lives in Athi River. Wife earns 20K. when they calculated the transport, lunch and salary ya nanny they figured out that it balances or even goes above 20K then they did a cost benefit analysis focussed on the kids: the risk of nannies abusing kids, nannies being a headache and having to keep changing them (issues za househelp bureaus) and above all nothing beats having mum raise the kids. so wife quit jobo and they lived happily ever after
