Yes. Its her responsibility as a parent to treat the lice.
Lavender and vodka put in a spray bottle and spray it on her hair daily. It works and everything in the house needs to be washed
Tell her that! I watched kids and made the mom come get them immediately when i saw it.

I would tell her. I had a problem with live in both my girls. I finally tried coke a cola to kill the live and it worked. The I cut my girls hair very short. It finally worked
The girl’s house needs to be cleaned, too. Bed sheets, stuffed toys, whatever. My daughter and her friend had an issue with it and kept passing it back and forth, no matter what I did until I got my daughter’s hair professionally treated. Then she didn’t go back to her friends house cause her mom didn’t think there was a problem, which kept the problem going. If this girl’s mom doesn’t know, you’ll never get over it.
You already have it I bet if you’re all within a couple feet of each other. You be honest and tell her.
Offer to help her. Tell her that you’re concerned it will pass along to your kids or yourself. That you understand that it is difficult to deal with however you are willing to help her.

Years ago a relatives daughter kept getting it from school. They tried the over-the-counter options and they did not work. Finally, she called the doctor and the doctor prescribed something for head lice, it worked. You need to just tell her as she is passing it around at school also.
Just that…tell her. The work it takes to get it out of the house and off the kids. Ugh! Not worth it!
As a mother of 4 little girls I would do that little girls head myself… and I would talk to the mother and ask if she needed help with spray or cleaning, some people just dont know how to get rid of it, I remember I lived with my dad and he just really didnt know what to do, but he tried really hard, it took my mom coming over and doing our heads and cleaning and spraying for the problem to go away.

I’d stop babysitting until the problem is rectified
Baby oil or the stronger rubbing alcohol soak hair abd let sit for a couple hours covered with a shower cap or grocery bag. Alternate every 3 or 4 days for a two wks which is the cycle period for lice…it was the cheapest and most effective routine I found wen my girls kept getting them. Baby oil smothers the live ones and the alcohol dries out the eggs and kills the bugs

Vinegar and a pet comb they have new combs out now that zaps them i seen commercial gosh poor kid makes my head itch thinking about it
Let her know of ways to prevent lice. . Like tea tree oil shampoo
Be honest with her. Lice is a complete nightmare. I’d be triple checking your kids hair because unfortunately the chances of them having it is pretty high.
That’s sad.
It could be that the MOM is treating just her hair and not also tending to a deep clean of their home, vehicles and other family members…just causing a repetitious cycle in reinfestation.
You tell her you cannot watch her child if she has lice! My daughter had it and we had to cut her hair. We spent hours going thru her hair and a small fortune on treatment!
The school hasn’t told the mother? Yes I would tell the mother if she keeps getting it sounds like the mother may not know she has to clean everywhere the little sits lay and the whole family may have just explain to her nicely.
Be as kind as you can telling her,my daughter’s got it from daycare and it was a nightmare to get rid of. Definitely just getting tea tree oil u can also get tea tree shampoo and conditioner or spray I got the spray and use to spray my girls hair in the Moring when I did it to help prevent them from getting it again.
I’d inform both the school and the mom. Its not something to spare feelings over. Most people are struggling financially and having to pay for lice removal and treatment gets expensive. Good luck.
There is a line of life treatment and life preventative that has like a castle on the bottle… Walmart sells it.
Use that on your daughters. If this little girl has it and keeps getting it, one of two things is happening… one, the mother doesn’t know how to properly treat the hair AND home and car and pets or the girl is getting it again and again at school. So it’s GOING to go around the school. Also if you find good quality tea tree oil and add a few drops in the family shampoo, that can help deter the little pests.
But maybe give the mom a gift basket discreetly and Linda hint around that lice is going around the school and you are doing the same treatment of the home and car and pets and hair and figured you would give that mom the miracle stuff you found helps keep them at bay. This brand and treatment line is great! And it’s not all chemicals. AND they have stuff to keep stuff away and kill what’s in the hair.
Just gift her the stuff, tell her you are keeping your kids home for three days and won’t be doing babysitting until you know more kids have been treated since it’s becoming a problem in the school…. This isn’t pointing her out and giving her the proper tools to deal with it. She also needs furniture spray to treat pillows and stuff. But using the products for a week should starve and kill anything in her home.
As a precaution, use NIX shampoo on you and your daughters. It keeps you protected for a week or so. But just be honest. There is no school or daycare that would allow a kid with lice to attend. You shouldn’t either. That being said…be nice about it and remind the mom that lice do not like dirty hair. They only like clean hair with no chemicals/products. So she is doing a good job keeping a child’s hair clean…we all know that is difficult.
Vamousse. It’s a product that kills lice & eggs. Costs about $20 at Walmart
Daycare don’t take kids with lice, why should you?
If I was babysitting, I wouldn’t mind treating her myself. 
Be honest. I believe your daughter has lice.
Just let her know that your getting bugged out
Just be honest with mom if your kids get lice that cost you time money and your kids will have to stay home and miss there studies at school tell mom I’m sorry but I can’t watch your child until the lice problem is solved adding some tea tree oil to your shampoo is a good deterant for lice if child is catching at school a few drops of tea tree oil in a squirt bottle with water spray backpack, binder, coat every other day and notify school nurse as well maybe she can help educate mom on how to rid them from the home so that there is not a reacurance of child getting lice not saying the mother is not doing her best just saying she may accidentally be overlooking some things she needs to do at home because to be honest I wouldn’t know how to treat my home I would have to call health department and ask what all I needed to do besides hair treatment
Get tea tree oil put in their shampoo and wash weekly they won’t ever have that issue again give her a solution to get ride of it, maybe she will understand
Not advice about mom, just the lice. They hate mint. I used to work in a live clinic. Spray everything you have with some minty spray daily.
buy the shampoo and treat her
Help her and her daughter get rid of the lice/eggs by showing her how to.
