(AP) — A Blair woman has been given four days of jail following a negligent child abuse conviction in the drowning of a toddler under her care.

59-year-old Nancy Tierney was sentenced Thursday after her conviction this month in the death of a 16-month-old Isabella Thallas.

Tierney pleaded no contest to the misdemeanor charge. Prosecutors dropped a manslaughter count as part of a plea deal.

Tierney was charged after Isabella drowned last August in a pool at Tierney’s home, which served as a certified day care facility. A court document says Tierney left the girl and other children unattended when she used a bathroom.

A  judge ordered two of the jail days to be severed on anniversaries of the girl’s death.
