[quote=Anonymous][quote]Feeding toddler DC old food and milk (not rotten, but not fresh) w/o asking me first [/quote]
[quote] About food/milk. I am totally okay with DC eating leftovers up to two days old. (I actually am okay with older, depending on what it is, but would rather save nanny that judgment call). She doesn't know how old the food in our fridge is so should ask me before she gives DC something I made[/quote]
[quote] I NEVER gave the nanny carte blanche to dig through leftovers so why is this even an issue?[/quote]
[quote] I always pointed out which leftovers are okay to give. The implication being that other leftovers are NOT OK. [/quote]

It's an issue because you are making it one.
Why not make it easy on your nanny and LABEL leftovers? At least date them. Or just throw it out when it goes sorry-looking. 
While you aren't happy for her to "dig through" the leftovers it seems generally okay for her to feed DC leftovers but please, just make it easy for her to find the leftovers she is allowed to feed the child. Pointing out is fine but hours later nanny might not necessarily remember which containers you pointed out. Do you want her to call you before she feeds DC? Would probably be an option though annoying.

[quote]Not taking DC to places I told her to [/quote]
[quote]I told nanny maybe two months ago about four places she [b]could[/b] take DC when it was too cold for the park [/quote]
[quote] I explicitly told nanny to try all 4 places out, she hasn't and without explanation[/quote]
[quote] I specifically instructed her to go to all four places. I told her she should rotate among them, but that it was up to her how to rotate[/quote]

You told her to try them all? You told her to rotate them? You told her she could go to those places? Which is it?

You need to give your nanny, your current one or a possible new one (safety issues would bother me), clear instructions on what you want done how or you will end up with the same problems again.[/quote]
