The Apple Watch is an iPhone accessory and must be paired to an iPhone.


A Cellular Apple Watch shares the iPhone's phone number, and the iPhone's cellular carrier charges a per month fee for the service. In the U.S. the fee is $10 per month.


Strongly suggest against pairing an Apple Watch for your Daughter, as she will get all your phone calls, your messages, email, contacts, etc...
