Deputies arrested Niurka Ramirez in Orlando on Friday on a child abuse charge.
Ramirez says she was trying to discipline her 2-year-old daughter for throwing a temper tantrum.
She told authorities she did not use the high-pressure feature on the hose when spraying the child.
A nurse reported the girl had no visible injuries 11 days after the incident.
Ramirez was released from jail early Saturday on $1,000 bail. Jail records do not list an attorney.
