Hi, thanks for asking.
I can understand your concerns.
In my opinion this seems to be an attention seeking behaviour. And any negative attention is also an attention. So now whenever she does anything annoying ignore it. If its something really bad then give her timeout in a corner with her facing the wall but do not look at her scold her or discuss about it. Just do not give any attention.
Try this and it will stop. Ask her caretakers also to do the same.
I hope I have helped you
