Cruel California nanny caught abusing two-day-old baby used fake reference from daughter to get the job and has ‘fled to China’

The sadistic nanny who shocked the world this week when video emerged of her throwing, slapping, and smothering a two-day old baby, only got the job through a reference written by her daughter, DailyMail.com has learned.

The cruel caretaker has since been identified as Guitan Liu, who has now fled to her native China amid calls to have her brought back to California to face justice.

Her daughter Christina Liu has also been fired from her job at TikTok for her alleged part in the sickening scheme, sources told DailyMail.com.

The maternity nanny was hired by a couple – who do not wish to be named – in the town of Hillsborough, 15 miles south of San Francisco, to help care for their infant daughter born in late September. 

But within weeks the new parents would discover the horrific footage of their baby girl being abused by their trusted caretaker on their baby monitor. 

The anguished mom and dad have come forward to publicly raise awareness to other parents, and local police are now enlisting the help of federal authorities to find Liu. 

The mom, identifying herself only as ‘Bay Area Mom D’ on social media, released several horrific nanny cam videos showing Liu, who is in her mid-50s, inflicting pain on her screaming child.

In a series of Instagram posts detailing the disturbing discovery, the mom claims she and her husband were duped into hiring Liu – who she has branded the world’s ‘most malicious maternity nanny’ – by Liu’s daughter.

Liu, who is yet to be charged, initially came ‘highly recommended’ when she landed the position with the Chinese American family in their $8million luxury home, nestled on a posh cul de sac.

Liu’s reference had presented herself as the nanny’s former employer and a mother of two on a Chinese social media post and praised the woman as trustworthy.

But the newborn’s mom said she didn’t discover until afterwards that the reference was actually the nanny’s own daughter Christina who worked at TikTok in Fresno, California. 

An internal source at TikTok told DailyMail.com that the company confronted Christina Liu about her involvement in the case and has since terminated her employment.

Christina Liu did not respond to DailyMail.com’s request for comment. 

‘In late September, I welcomed my sweet baby girl into the world,’ the mom wrote on Instagram. ‘Sadly, we soon faced a devastating experience. We need public attention and professional support to hold this family accountable.’

Hillsborough police said the evidence ‘depicts multiple instances of suspected child abuse,’ and that ‘inspectors have confirmed the suspect’s identity and are collaborating with federal law enforcement agencies to locate and interview the individual.’

The child was born in mid-September. The nanny came to stay with them upon their return from the hospital later that month.

‘On the morning of October 2, we just happen to see on the live baby monitor that the nanny was being a little rough with our baby,’ the mom recalled.

She and her husband immediately confronted the caretaker, telling her to be more careful. The new nanny, a middle-aged woman, started crying, saying ‘she would never do such (a) thing to a baby,’ the mom said.

Later that night, the newborn’s father reviewed more footage from the monitor to discover that this wasn’t an isolated incident. 

They fired her the next morning, and the mom noted ‘she act aggressively to the termination.’

The dad then downloaded all the videos to see the horrifying magnitude of the abuse.

The nanny, standing over the crib, could be seen repeatedly shaking the infant, smothering her with a blanket, slapping her on the face and body, hitting her with a milk bottle, and violently throwing her across a bed. 

The child lets out ear-splitting screams as the nanny metes out more abuse with no apparent hesitation.

‘I can’t convey in words how traumatized we are and can’t watched all the videos where she was aggressively abused,’ the mom recalled on Instagram earlier this month.

The parents took the child to doctors for x-rays and a brain MRI, fortunately discovering that there was no apparent serious damage, though more tests are being conducted.  

They also notified police. The nanny, however, was already apparently on the run.

‘By the time we downloaded all the video evidence and handed over to the police, (the nanny) had already left the country and, with the help of her daughter, managed to flee back to China,’ the mom wrote.

In a series of postings, she explained her decision to go public with her family’s horrifying experience.

‘I’m writing this post as a deeply concerned mother who endured an unimaginable difficulty with a nanny we hired,’ she wrote.

‘We are seeking public attention and support,’ she added. ‘We will not give up—we want justice!

More than 34,000 people have signed an online petition on change.org urging federal authorities to investigate.

The parents, incognito, sat down with a local ABC affiliate Monday.

‘We all thought we could trust her,’ the father told ABC7 News. ‘Never imagined something like this could happen.’

‘Just a few days of this kind of abuse could have lifelong consequences for a baby,’ he worried.

San Mateo County District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe told DailyMail.com that he’s particularly concerned about any neurological damage to the baby.

‘Sometimes you can’t tell what the neurological damage is for years,’ he said.

He said the nanny could face multiple felony charges of cruelty to a child, each carrying up six years in prison.

‘Clearly, she’ll face double digit years in prison if she’s found and convicted,’ Wagstaffe said.

‘I’ve seen dozens of child abuse cases over the course of decades,’ he continued. 

‘What struck me as different here is the age of the child, just a few days old. How can you be more vulnerable? I don’t know any other word to describe this other than evil.’
