Jamie told the Cut<\/a>. <\/p>\nThe mom of four with two grandkids was \u201cdefinitely, absolutely in love\u201d with children, Jamie recalled to the outlet \u2014 and Molnar was hired part-time for 18 hours a week at $25 an hour. <\/p>\n
Her experience as a parent and nanny was a much-needed asset to the new parents \u2014 she baked teething biscuits and read German books to their daughter, whom they wanted to grow up \u201cat least\u201d bilingual, in the consultants\u2019 restored $1 million Colonial farmhouse in Hillsdale, according to the article. <\/p>\n

While the Nordenstr\u00f6ms\u2019 Nanny Lane ad said a \u201cguest house is provided,\u201d the couple was hoping to find a full-time caregiver for their little girl. But when Molnar asked if she could move in in December, they allowed her to, rent-free, as Jamie wanted to avoid giving her legal status as a tenant, the Cut reported. <\/p>\n
It didn\u2019t take long for things to implode, with Molnar soon defying every rule the Nordenstr\u00f6ms had, Jamie told the Cut. <\/p>\n
Though she was told the guesthouse was pet-free, Molnar brought her yellow Labrador, Hudson, and asked if her youngest son could visit over Christmas while on break from boarding school \u2014 but was still there come mid-January, Jamie added. <\/p>\n

Molnar also allegedly refused to clean up after herself in the shared spaces of the property \u2014 or if Hudson pooped in the garden or inside the home, Jamie alleged to the Cut. <\/p>\n
Still, the couple tried to keep the peace, with Jamie telling the outlet that Philip and Molnar\u2019s son would play chess together or they\u2019d pay her to cook lavish French meals. <\/p>\n
However, when the Nordenstr\u00f6ms returned from Philip\u2019s native Sweden in June, they found teenagers hanging out in and around their pool \u2014 and no room in either of their fridges for their groceries and a vacuum clogged with dog hair, per the outlet.<\/p>\n
After shutting the party down, Jamie went to sleep, only to be awakened by Molnar making a racket in the kitchen, she told the Cut. She confronted the nanny, who was angry that her boss had embarrassed her son in front of his buddies. <\/p>\n
\u201cThe whole situation was so bizarre. We didn\u2019t really know what to do,\u201d Jamie said. <\/p>\n

Molnar, however, told the Cut that the Nordenstr\u00f6ms were aware Hudson was moving in with her \u2014 and that Jamie encouraged her to throw her teen an end-of-the-school-year party. <\/p>\n
Jamie fired Molnar after the party \u2014 but begrudgingly offered to help her find a new place to live and pay her through the end of the month.<\/p>\n
However, Molnar immediately cited tenants\u2019 rights, telling Jamie, \u201cYou don\u2019t know the law. This is my home, my furnished apartment. This is my designated parking space,\u201d the Cut reported. <\/p>\n
Jamie said Molnar snapped after the pool party. Jamie Carano Nordenstrom<\/p>\n
\u201cWe knew, at that point, that she had engaged with us to gain access to our home,\u201d said Jamie, who began looking deeper into the past of her suddenly changed nanny. <\/p>\n
While Molnar had no criminal record, she did have a similar landlord-tenant dispute in 2021. Records from that case obtained by The Post show that Molnar wound up owing the couple $27,617 plus interest.<\/p>\n
A lawyer confirmed that Molnar was a licensee \u2014 with permission to live rent-free from a homeowner without a rental agreement \u2014 under state law. So their attorney demanded the nanny leave via a 10-day notice \u2014 which passed with no sign of Molnar vacating. <\/p>\n
There were run-ins with cops, both sides began filming each other, and the couple even called animal control about Hudson. <\/p>\n
In one text exchange shared with The Cut, Molnar told Jamie: \u201cI am interviewing for several jobs and once that is secured, I promise you, I cannot get away from you and this place fast enough.\u201d<\/p>\n
The women started to record one another while trying to cohabitate on the same property. Barbara Molnar<\/p>\n
\u201cYou are now night and day, 180 degrees from the kind and generous person you were when we started,\u201d the nanny added.<\/p>\n
The Nordenstr\u00f6ms eventually filed a lawsuit against Molnar, where they claimed she was \u201ca professional con-artist, with a well-documented history of ingratiating herself with well-off individuals, unlawfully occupying their property in bad faith, and then refusing to leave and abusing the protections afforded by eviction laws,\u201d according to documents obtained by the outlet.<\/p>\n
A judge ordered Molnar to vacate the premises on Sept. 10 and additionally slammed her with a temporary order of protection from the Nordenstr\u00f6ms.<\/p>\n

When she finally left, Jamie found that the guest house was soaked in urine \u2014 and placed so precisely she assumed it couldn\u2019t have all come from the dog, the homeowner told the outlet.<\/p>\n
She said that the mattress and comforter were drenched, and the rugs were bogged down to such a degree that the liquid seeped through the floorboards.<\/p>\n
\u201cMaybe it was a bear,\u201d Molnar told the Cut while claiming she\u2019s the real victim, who\u2019s \u201cgoing to be completely discredited and slandered.\u201d <\/p>\n
The ousted New Jersey-born nanny \u2014 now working as a private chef in Hillsdale \u2014 said she was scouted as a high-end model and worked for French designer Guy Laroche before marrying Pasquale Fabio Granato. They had three kids and opened celeb Big Apple hotspot Serafina Fabulous Pizza. After their divorce, he sent their kids to European boarding schools, where she would visit them, she told The Cut. <\/p>\n
She later had her youngest son with a French wine heir and is suing him for $5 million in child support, the outlet reported. <\/p>\n
Molnar also filed a wrongful termination lawsuit against Jamie in August, which her former boss called \u201cbaseless and frivolous AI-generated,\u201d while calling her mentally unstable in a counter-filing. <\/p>\n
Eventually, a judge placed restraining orders on both women. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A wealthy couple who thought they had found their dream nanny to help with their newborn daughter soon…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":22372,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[2850,9,11,10,14835,817,58],"class_list":{"0":"post-22371","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-new-york","8":"tag-lawsuits","9":"tag-new-york","10":"tag-new-york-headlines","11":"tag-new-york-news","12":"tag-squatters","13":"tag-upstate-new-york","14":"tag-us-news"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22371","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=22371"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22371\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/22372"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=22371"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=22371"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=22371"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
