Josephine Kinuche, a former nanny for renowned content creators Diana Marua and Bahati, recently opened up about her personal life and one of the most heart-wrenching experiences she faced while working for the couple.
Josephine, who served the Bahati family for four years, shared her story during a fan Q&A session, recounting the tragic events surrounding her mother’s passing in March 2023.

She recalled receiving a distressing call from her sister Eliza on March 7, 2023, informing her that their mother had been hospitalised. Deeply concerned, Josephine rushed to the hospital to check on her but had to return to work shortly after. A few days later, Eliza called again, urging her to visit their ailing mother, who had requested to see her.
At the time, Diana and Bahati were in Dubai, but despite the distance, the couple displayed remarkable empathy and understanding. Josephine sought their permission to take time off to be with her mother, and they readily supported her decision.
In an emotional moment, Josephine recounted her final conversation with Bahati, during which her mother expressed gratitude for his kindness. “My mum said, ‘This young man is kind-hearted. I have seen him for the first time on my deathbed. I wish I could have met him earlier,’” she shared tearfully. Diana also reached out during this time, opting for audio calls due to the lingering trauma of losing her own mother.

One day, while she briefly stepped away, her sister called her in tears to inform her of their mother’s passing. “It still feels like it happened just yesterday. That process was so painful,” Josephine recounted.
A Luhya from Western Kenya and a trained teacher, Josephine recently revealed that she had parted ways with the Bahati family to focus on her personal goals. Despite leaving her role, she emphasized that her relationship with the family remains amicable and positive.
