Filipina wins UAE’S Best Nanny award

DUBAI: A Filipina nanny has won the UAE Best Nanny Award 2018 on Friday. She received huge applause and about Dhs70,000 (1 million Philippine pesos) for her exceptional services.

The middle-aged Rosie Vargas Villa was down to tears when she was told that she had won the title.

The Rise team that organises the Nanny Award barged into the house where Rosie works.

An excited Rosie could not express her joy as she broke down in tears at the residence. She said, “It is amazing… all this…” as she thanked everyone.

The humble Rosie has been working in the UAE with over half a decade with the couple.

Rosie has been shortlisted over scores of nannies vying for the title.

Rosie sends most of her savings to her native country.
