From the New York Post: A wealthy couple who thought they had found their dream nanny to help with their newborn daughter soon found themselves in a living nightmare when the caregiver allegedly refused to leave their lavish upstate New York home after things turned sour.
Barbara Molnar checked all the boxes that Jamie Carano Nordenström and her husband, Philip Nordenström, were looking for when she answered their ad on Nanny Lane in the summer of 2024, Jamie told the Cut.
The mom of four with two grandkids was “definitely, absolutely in love” with children, Jamie recalled to the outlet — and Molnar was hired part-time for 18 hours a week at $25 an hour.
Her experience as a parent and nanny was a much-needed asset to the new parents — she baked teething biscuits and read German books to their daughter, whom they wanted to grow up “at least” bilingual, in the consultants’ restored $1 million Colonial farmhouse in Hillsdale, according to the article.
The report notes that the original ad placed by the couple stated that a “guest house is provided.” The guest house was supposed to be for a full time nanny, and Molnar was only hired on a part time basis, while the couple were reportedly still searching for a full-time nanny for their daughter.
However, in December Molnar asked if she could move into the guest house, and the couple granted the request, allowing her to live there rent-free, “as Jamie wanted to avoid giving her legal status as a tenant.”
Then, it went from bad to worse,,, to MUCH worse.
Molnar started breaking all the rules, including the pet-free rule. She moved in her dog, Hudson, and asked if her youngest son could visit over Christmas. But they didn’t leave.
Molnar refused to clean up after herself, or pick up her dog’s poop from the yard. When the couple returned from a vacation in Sweden, they found a big party of teenagers hanging out in the home and around their pool.
The party was the last straw, and the couple fired her, but Molnar refused to leave and claimed she had “tenants’ rights.”
The couple discovered that Molnar had been involved in a similar landlord-tenant dispute in 2021. They filed a lawsuit, saying she was a “professional con artist.”
A judge ordered Molnar to vacate the premises on September 10, and when she finally left, they found the guest house was soaked in urine.
