Oh, I forgot to mention that if you want to make sure she can't just go around the squid/squidgard proxy then you'll have to use some kind of stateful firewall filtering to tunnel all http data through port X. X being the port that you set squid to use. Iptables in linux 2.4.x does a fine job for me, and Monmotha, http://monmotha.mplug.org/firewall/index.php , has a great script that makes this easy to accomplish.
