Hi, she can relax now. It is a Nursery Web Spider, Pisaurina mira. They are in the same family as Fishing Spiders. They tend to creep some people out with their big angular bodies and tendency to stay still. They are harmless though. You can recognize them in the future as the big pinkish spiders that often have a wide brown stripe down their back.
