An Orange County nanny was charged with nearly a dozen felony charges after she was allegedly caught on camera "striking and violently shaking" a 2-month-old baby she was babysitting earlier this year, according to the Orange County District Attorney's Office.

In a news release, prosecutors said that Iara Dossantos Bomfim, a 29-year-old Anaheim woman, was arrested last week after she "returned from her native Brazil and was attempting to set up another Care.com account to advertise her nanny services."

She had previously left for Brazil on July 12 after the baby's mother discovered the alleged abuse on the family's nanny cam, the release said. Her departure came just the day after prosecutors said the baby's mother discovered disturbing camera footage over three months.
