Been there!

Thirteen years ago I went to work at a very small, very computerized office.  I was the office staff and was expected to do payables, receivables, payroll, correspondence, reception duties, etc.  I had no computer experience but a great boss who said here is the computer, here are the manuals.  I am here for any questions you have.  I'll spend as much time as you need helping you but you are in charge.  He spent a fair amount of time with me the first week and after that I rarely had to ask for help.

Imagine my delight, when four weeks after I started he called me in and said I was doing a great job, he really apreciated my initiative and gave me a raise.  I would walk on coals for the man!

Today, I am the "Go To" person for others in a larger office who need computer assistance.

Just encourage her.  Let her know that she is in charge of learning what she needs to know and that you will be there to help anytime she has a question.
