If grandma is there, don't have nanny on that day.
Grandma can babysit.

If Grandma declines to be the sole babysitter and is uncomfortable being on her own with toddler, then apparently Nanny is very important and valuable and I would straight out tell my mother that.  And curtly say that you want no more negative comments about nanny[/quote]

Also, I don't think it's fair to leave the nanny to deal with overbearing grandmas during the week so that you and DH can have your time, free of grandmas, on the weekend.

Believe me, I GET IT! My MIL is tough to be around and I have to bite my tongue about 70% of the time we are all together. I also feel like her weekend visits encroach on time the limited time that I have with my DD, and that really sucks. I wish I could just have her come during the week so she can get QT with DD without me around, but she is not in physical shape to take care of a mobile baby alone. DH has suggested having her come with the nanny still there. However, to me, putting "grandma babysitting" duty on my nanny's plate does not seem fair to me either. She is a respected and trusted partner in caring for my child, period. It's not her job to deal with my husband's mom; it's her job to deal with DD. I would worry that putting her in a position where she is playing hostess to grandma would be taking advantage of her.
