Does she get a W-2 from the employer? Or is she an independent contractor?

If she is an independent contractor then she needs to file as self-employed, and prepare a Schedule C for her business expenses, whatever those may be. (Boots, gloves, scoopers....?)
She will also have to pay self-employment tax for Social Security and Medicare as well as ordinary income tax.
