Keshie wa Stano travelled from Kenya to Saudi Arabia after being offered a domestic role that appeared straightforward, with the employer stating her primary duty would be to feed and wash "Turki".

Upon arrival at the employer’s residence, she learned that Turki was not a child but an iguana, a common pet reptile in Gulf households.

The revelation came after the employer introduced her to the animal, explaining that iguanas are friendly reptiles often kept as household companions in the region.

Keshie noted that the job seemed unusually easy before departure, leading her to imagine a routine centred on child care rather than reptile maintenance.

She also mentioned that the employer reassured her there were several other staff members in the household, suggesting her workload would not be heavy.

The unexpected task sparked widespread amusement on social media, with many Kenyan users sharing the story as a cautionary example of the need to verify job details before accepting overseas work.

Keshie concluded her post by asking readers whether they would panic or continue with the job, highlighting the broader reality that Kenyan workers often face unclear job descriptions abroad.
