I think it's a type of cricket, tree cricket maybe? I don't think it would hurt your daughter.

If it had very long antennae that were about 3-4x longer than its body, and it could jump many times its body length then it was a camel cricket. This is a female because of the ovipositor [egg laying organ] sticking out at the end of her abdomen. They are not harmful to people. They are often found in dark humid basements.
