You can't catch shingles though you can develop chickenpox if you havent had it and if you havent been vaccinated. If you've had chickenpox or have been vaccinated, you should be fine, just dont touch her open sores.
People can only get shingles if they've had chickenpox. It's a reactivation of the herpes zoster virus and usually occurs when the immune system is compromised. So you cant catch shingles itself.
It's chickenpox that is dangerous to babies, not shingles.
