Bethany Carlson on Friday got the call that Leslie Rosario, 31, left baby Frankie in the Route 17 Sheraton Hotel Oct. 5 while she attempted to torch her former flame's Mercedes-Benz, the New York Post reports.

The Carlsons had been paying $35 monthly to Sittercity.com for Rosario's services and say they were told she had been verified with references, according to the article.

Rosario gave police a fake name at the time and then days later, claimed she had been robbed at gunpoint when she failed to show up at the Carlson's for work, The Post reports.
