Default help we cant train our yorkie . warning LONG

Hi , hopefully posting in right place , new here , so just finding my way.
Anyway , at my wits end with my female 16 month old yorkie Dara. We got her at 12 weeks old , proceeded to crate train her ( well try to), as every time we went to the cage she had soiled repeatedly in it ! She still poops and pee's daily months later .
Peeing - she could be let out to pee at midnight , still when I come down stairs at 7am im met with puddles on the floor , not little puddles BTW , these things are human sized ! If I go into another room for an hour I will come back to pee on the floor , if I leave the house , I'm met with pee on my return (last night took my mum for birthday meal , left at 4.40 pm, came home at 9 to 3 pee's on kitchen floor ) . she will pee on carpets , wooden floors , tiles, anywhere basically and has now been confined to our kitchen / adjoining TV room . she used to also poop several tomes a day , but this is on the rare occasion now ! I will add - she is able to hold it in , as some mornings we come down there's nothing . she will also pee not long after being let back in from toilet break ! Its disgusting and unhygienic with 2 kids in the house.
Behaviour: loving affectionate dog , bit nervous . she is beyond hyper , jumping on people knocking visitors cups from their hands etc everything. Completely disobedient - she will sit and give her paw "sometimes" however when she escapes from the kitchen she will run like crazy , will not "come" as she's been taught , until caught ! If she escapes from garden , it takes hours to catch her as she sprints through peoples gardens etc ! Nightmare she is .
Walking : leads on the leash or harness . walking so fast she's choking herself , mounting garden walls that we walk past , trying to run so badly she's walking on her hind legs . I avoid walking her now as she barks excessively at everyone or thing we pass , trying to get to them . she till chews the kids toys , socks , or anything else she finds .
Barking : have had written complaints from the neighbours twice ! She barks at EVERYTHING ! if the kettle clicks , she will bark like crazy , if she's outside she will run round barking at nothing . I've just bought a collar which sprays her with water when she barks , which is helping a bit , however when collars not on she's barking again . postman at door , she will run post up, if I try stop her she is so "in the zone" she will nip at me.
Dog training : I paid for private dog training at home . very expensive - and did not work !
Grooming- leaving her to dog groomers on the last occasion they asked me not to bring her back , they couldn't control her to cut her hair & when I went to collect her she was going crazy in the cage .
Sorry for the long post , but really at my wits end . I have a new baby due next week & can't deal with this any longer. I wouldn't trust her around a baby as she's so hyper & the babies crying might frighten her . also sick of cleaning poo and pee & basically dealing with a dog that does nothing its told & can't be taken anywhere . if I can't sort this I'm going to have to rehone her , which I dont want to do , as she's part of our family .
So hoping you guys might have some tips which might help .

Add- I take her water from her in the evening and its not given back til morning - and she still pee's !!

Thanks in advance
