You're fired! Now get out, please.
This pretty bizarre. I wonder if the law would be more sympathetic if they had been paying her instead of providing a room/board in exchange for work arrangement. I expect the creative minds here can find away to drive a person to leave.
http://gma.yahoo.com/family-stumped-fired-live-nanny-wont-leave-193642481--abc-news-topstories.html A California family is stumped about what to do with a live-in nanny they say refuses to work, refuses to be fired and refuses to leave. In fact, Marcella Bracamonte claims that the nanny, Diane Stretton, has threatened to sue the family for wrongful firing and elder abuse. Marcella and Ralph Bracamonte of Upland, California, say they hired Stretton, 64, as a live-in nanny on March 4 to help with their three children, ages 11, 4, and 1. According to the couple, the terms of Stretton's employment were that Stretton was to nanny for the family and help around the house in exchange for room and board.

Couldn't you file a restraining order against the nanny and have her leave?

CA law is 30 days then she has tenant's rights. Pretty stupid. I think most hotels/motels require you to vacate at 30 days, or at least check out and then check back in for the same reason. She apparently quit working as a nanny after a week. They should have booted her then. Apparently she's done this kind of thing many times.

They should have paid her minimum wage(salary would be better with a very detailed job description), and charged the same for food and rent with a signed month-to-month lease.
There's a story of a couple that went on vacation. When they came back a guy was living in their 'deserted house' and they couldn't evict. I think he was halfway into some foreclosure/purchase paperwork by that point. |

Only in California...
If that were my house she would be yanked right out the back door. She could move into her newly dug hole in the backyard or move on to pester someone else, her choice. What a piece of ****... JR |

As far as I know, many states have tenant rights. A friend had a gf move in, she was getting mail at his house. They broke up and she refused to move out, getting mail at his house established her legal rights to be there.
He had to hire a lawyer and wait her out after serving her eviction papers. |

Nightmare. But avoidable, they're idiots.

And leave her with all of your worldly possessions plus your house? Yeah, that sounds brilliant.

On the news, it said they shut off the AC and she threatened to sue, and they had to put a lock on the fridge. The news crew was there when she was served with the eviction papers, it was pretty funny. The new also claimed she had left that morning and they didn't know if she was coming back. Couldn't they take all her stuff and dump it outside while she was gone and change the locks?
edit: looks like she left the house but all her stuff is still there: http://www.palmbeachpost.com/news/news/national/family-says-fired-live-nanny-wont-leave/ngTzp/
