In reply to the discussion: Nanny refuses to work, won't move out after being fired, wants family out of house from 8am to 8pm [View all]rocktivity
(45,006 posts)98. Update
ABC.com: The Bracamontes claim that they hired Stretton as a live-in nanny in early March in exchange for room and board, but she stopped working earlier this month because of physical ailments. When she allegedly refused to come out of her room except to eat, they dismissed her and asked her to leave, the Bracamontes claim. Stretton refused to leave and threatened to sue them for elder abuse and improper firing, the family claims.
Stretton, 64, made her claims to KNX radio...after days of refusing to speak about the accusations against her, even when reporters found her living in her car at a police station..."Well, first of all, I wasnt fired, unless you can be fired after you quit. I quit two days before they fired me...And I gave 30 days of notice, which we had agreed to."
Stretton, who left the Bracamontes' home Thursday but has not moved her stuff out, sent an email to Cohen over the weekend setting out conditions for removing her possessions and leaving the home for good by July 4. They included having the media leave the Bracamontes' home, allowing her three more nights in the house and the use of the shower...

She's been gone since last Thursday, didn't speak to the media until Monday, and is now demanding that the media leave a place where she has no jurisdiction? A little bird tells me that it was the media attention that finally drove her away, yet she's still trying to control the situation -- straight out of the paranoid schizophrenic's playbook.

OP
don't feed her. Stay in your house. Get someone to come in and assess her mind.

Very strange, if they can't have her removed for trespassing, at least they could stop feeding her.

They have to start the eviction process - then the police can haul her ass out of there

not sure it's that simple , in California in most cases a person can't just be kicked out

Doesn't work that way, alas. It's a civil matter; cops can't do shit until there's an order to evict

Is there a Craigslist section for job postings like that? Nice work if you can get it.

I meant ones for an old Bluesman to lay in bed all day and only come out for meals.

They should call the police and have them help evict her. About her threats to sue
