The woman was taken into custody around 6:50 a.m. on March 31 after returning from international travel, police said. Investigators determined she was abroad and identified a scheduled return to the United States on March 31, leading to her arrest upon arrival at SFO.
The investigation began March 26, when officers met with the woman’s former employer, a resident in the wealthy Bay Area town of Tiburon,who reported thousands of dollars in unauthorized charges on her credit card. The victim told investigators the suspect had worked as a nanny in her household from July 2025 through Dec. 11, 2025, and had been given authorized access to a credit card for child care-related expenses.
After the employment ended, the victim was alerted by her credit card company to what police described as a “dramatic and unauthorized increase in spending.” Authorities said the charges included airline tickets booked under the suspect’s name, international travel, luxury hotels, cosmetic and spa services, retail purchases, ride services and “direct electronic payments made to accounts associated with the suspect.”
The case has been forwarded to the Marin County District Attorney’s Office for review of potential felony charges, including grand theft and fraud.
The department said the San Francisco Police Department assisted in the arrest. Authorities are asking anyone with information about the case to contact Tiburon police.
The investigation remains ongoing.
