About Me
I am 30 years old, married and a mother of one. I was born and brought up in Kabazi in Nakuru county. I went to Maombi Primary School, afterward joined Kieni Secondary School then proceeded to Mt. Kenya University and pursued early child development (E.C.D.) where I was credited with the equivalent certificate after graduation.
In 2008 I was employed in nursery schools in Nakuru town, where I worked for 6 months. However, the terms were not impressive and, while I was still there, an idea came to my mind of how I could earn more through starting a daycare after seeing my friend excel in that business. For good or bad luck, my sister, who lived in Nakuru, her house help quit the job, and she requested me to leave my job and help her in taking care of her daughter. I didn't hesitate because I saw it as a chance to implement my idea. I disclosed my idea to her and she was ready to support me.
My Business
I started the daycare in my rented single room with my sister's daughter. She used to pay me KSH 150 ($1.50) per day. She was so supportive in marketing the job, and by the end of the month I was able to have 3 more kids, for whom I charged KSH 80 ($0.82) each per day.
I am a resilient person who believes in hard work, prayers and commitment in anything I do. Out of starting with just 1 kid in a single room, I have managed to attain a total of 14 kids, for whom I charge KSH 80 – 150, depending on the age of the child. I shifted to a one-bedroom house and rented an extra room specifically for a daycare. I am able to make a net profit of KSH 15,000 ($154) per month.
