The best thing to do is set up Family Sharing with her. She can then have her own ID and you, as the organizer, will pay for her purchases. You can also set up Ask to Buy which restricts her purchasing anything without your approval. This will keep your data separated from her data.


If she is 13 years old or older.

If she is under 13 years old, you will need to set up Family Sharing to create an ID for her.
