A California family 's nanny nightmare may be nearing an end . More than three weeks ago the Bracamonte family fired Diane Stretton , 64 , but she refused to leave their home . Police told the family they could n't force Stretton out of their Upland , California , home without an eviction notice . A judge even ruled in Stretton 's favor , deciding the Bracamonte 's did not terminate Stretton 's employment in a legal manner . The family said Stretton then threatened to sue them if they tried to force her out . Now Stretton has offered to move out , according to ABC News , but under her conditions . Stretton called the family 's attorney late Saturday night `` and said she could be out by July 4 , '' Marcella Bracamonte said on `` Good Morning America '' Sunday . But Bracamonte said that wo n't work for her family because they plan to be out of town . So it 's still unclear at this point if , in fact , the nanny will leave of her own free will or whether the family will have to continue through with the eviction process , now underway , before they can call their home their own again . `` This is now by court , by law , this is her domain , `` Ralph Bracamonte told ABC News . The family 's saga started in March when Marcella Bracamonte hired Stretton as a nanny , who was expected to help out with household chores . The family ran a background check on the woman before hiring her , too . Bracamonte fired her on June 6 . `` She quit working about a month before I ever fired her . She would just stay in her room , '' said Marcella Bracamonte . CNN discovered that Stretton is on the California 's Vexatious Litigant List , a list of people who continually bring legal action , regardless of merit , against others with the sole intention of harassment . CNN found dozens of lawsuits filed by Stretton in California over the years .
Media report says nanny offered to leave by July 4 . Bracamonte family reportedly rejected one of the nanny 's conditions for departure . A California judge ruled in favor of the nanny as a tenant in the home . The ruling was upheld on appeal and now the case is being appealed again before an appeals court.
