I have a site that is built using WordPress. I host it at HostGator.
HostGator was bought about 2 years ago and they has improved
substantially. Better hardware and less packing of sites. My site has
good performance.
I would think GoDaddy, Blue Host, HostGator, and others would be fine.
I am seeing a lot of the cheap hosting companies claiming they
specialize in hosting WordPress. Not sure what exactly they are doing
that is specific to WordPress. I think WordPress requires MySql 5.6 and
PHP 5.6 so maybe you will want to consider that as well when selecting a
host.

If your daughter wants to attract readers, I would suggest the Yoast SEO
plug in and would recommend reading the entire Yoast site. Lots to
know.
I would recommend permalinks and using a mobile responsive theme.
