Live-in nanny refuses to leave family home

A US woman hired as a live-in nanny will not leave a family home despite being sacked.

Diane Stretton, the 64-year-old nanny, was hired in March to help take care of three children at a home in California.

The parents, Marcella and Ralph Bracamonte, said Stretton has refused to leave despite being fired.

"The first few weeks she was awesome," Mrs Bracamonte told ABC News.

"All of a sudden she stopped working; she would stay in her room all day and only come out when food was ready."

Due to Stretton's residency in their home, the parents have been told that their only option is to evict her.

The legal paperwork is currently being processed.
