After school Nanny and Calpol

We have an after school Nanny for our two children. Today my daughter had a medical appointment and was in pain when we got home so I gave her some paracetamol - I thought the Nanny had seen me give it to her (she was in the room at the time).
I then took my son to an activity and she stayed with my daughter. When I got back she said casually - "it was hurting her so I gave her some calpol".
I am really shocked and annoyed as she didn't check with me before giving calpol (and now she has had a double dose"
AIBU to be annoyed - she seems to think it's my fault for not making sure she realised I had already given her some.

We have other performance issues with our Nanny so I am not sure if this is clouding my view.

You should have told her about the filter dose.
You 'thought' she had seen you give her it but weren't certain.
Always clarify with meds.

You should have made sure she knew about the first dose, not just assumed
