If you want a good nanny experience OP you need to work on communicating, nannies cannot read minds.

Former nanny is very good at the basics, but has a hard time with the details, such as schedule. She is good at getting baby to bed, but would put baby to bed an hour late because she lost track of time. I asked her to take baby to the playground, she ran into a nanny she knows and ended up going for a stroller walk instead. Doesn't sound terrible, but I had told her no leisurely stroller walks, just go from point A to B as baby does not like being in the stroller. I'm not a mind reader but I think her memory is not great and she loses focus from her tasks. Most of her mistakes happen when she goes out. I figure I can minimize her mistakes by taking over the baby outing duties.

Going for a walk instead of he playground though should be up to the Nanny, If he was happy in the stroller with her and she ran into a friend and they went for a walk, your kid is still happy and out in the fresh air, she used her discretion. Im sure she didnt take him for a walk screaming in the stroller.
You sound controlling OP

Stay home and take care of your own kid. No one should have to put up with you.
