Before her travel, the young lady, who is also a mother, said she worked in Ghana as a teller.
Asked about what she now does for a living as a cleaner, Ruby responded, saying she is a cleaner, and mentioned that her work was more lucrative compared to her job as a teller in Ghana.
She explained that she earned more in two days as wages than her monthly salary back then when she was working as a teller.
“In Ghana, tellers are paid between GH₵3,000 and GH₵3,500, but here a cleaner earns 13 pounds per hour. I make more as a cleaner in 2 days in the UK than in Ghana in a month,” she told the interviewer.
She also opened up about why many Ghanaians choose cleaning jobs in the UK over care work.

“For cleaning jobs, it does not require any specialised training or attending courses. But for other jobs, you would have to undergo some form of training in the UK and receive certification before you can work,” she told the interviewer.
She continued: “Also, for me personally, I don’t want to be a carer.”Based on the things I have heard about the job, I prefer my cleaning job.” At the time of writing this report, the video had generated a lot of reactions and comments.
