   I don't know what software you use, but if she installs Gramps, you can   
   send her a GEDCOM and have her work with that. Gramps works on Linux,   
   OS-X, and Windows, so it should work, but installing it on a Mac may be   
   a bit difficult, because it's not standard, I think. I don't have a Mac,   
   so I can't check, but this is what I remember from seeing it.   
      
   You mentioned My Heritage, but sharing a tree is not free over there, so   
   I suggest that you try Ancestry or Geneanet. On both, you can upload a   
   GEDCOM and invite someone else to visit and work on your tree, and you   
   can both do that with a free account.   
      
   Here on the European continent, I use Geneanet, because it runs in my   
   language, and because it shows which persons have been modified, so that   
   you can see which changes she made, if you allow her to.   
      
   Regards,
