Whether or not you put her in a crate, when she is out of it or her pen, I would keep her tethered to you. Put a leash on her and then loop it around your belt.
This way, you two will learn to communicate better. You will be better able to pick up on her signals that she has to go and can hurry her to the appropriate place. When she does it right, have a party! Give her a treat and lots of excited praise in a little girl voice. When she gets it wrong and you catch it later, just quietly clean it up.
Until she is fully trained, do NOT let her have the run of the house. You are asking for trouble. Keep her contained where clean up is easy.
