Nanny lying about her hours

Hello Mamas,
What would you do if you find out your nanny was lying to you about her hours?
We left for a trip and asked our nanny to come to do some cleaning. She is also supposed to go to the tailor to drop off some things on her way home. I asked her specifically to call me when she arrived at the tailors so I can give instructions over the phone.
Instead, at 3:30 pm she simply texted me and said that she has dropped off the items and I should call the tailors for instructions. She said she just left the shop and is now walking to the bus stop on her way home. So literally 1 minute later, I called the tailor for instructions and found out that she left over an hour ago, possibly two hours ago. I am confident they are right, since the tailor even confirmed the time with his wife.
She said she finished her tasks at 3:30 pm. Which means our nanny may have charged us an extra hour or two for not doing anything.
She also said she started that morning 30 minutes earlier, without my approval. This doesn't seem okay to me.
She also has the habit of adding extra minutes/hours to her scheduled time whenever we are not at home.
It's quite upsetting that she has seemed to take advantage of the situation. Would it be too much to ask the building manager to check the building cameras to see if the nanny arrived and left on time?
