I'm guessing, as a crawler, that she's over the bouncy seat! My son could flip it over and crawl away with it on his back!
Bring her in the shower with you! My son loves to sit on the floor of the shower & play. Depending on the shape of your shower, she can probably sit clear of the spray.
Otherwise try a Pack & Play just outside the bathroom door.

If you put the baby in a car seat, jolly jumper or something else confining and get a clear shower curtain or just use the curtain liner then you can keep an eye on them very easily. As far as showering with the baby then maybe you could put some of those non-slip stickers on the bottom of your tub first for extra safety against slipping while the baby is in your arms.

I suggest getting(if you don't already) a Johny Jumper! You hang it over the doorway of the bathroom and let the baby jump in it while you're in the shower. I used mine all the time and it was the only thing that kept his attention AND he could see me. They aren't very expensive either. Also, you can put him in a playpen, bouncie chair, swing, etc. if you have one of those. If you don't have anything, then let the baby come into the bathroom with you. Close all the doors to confine her as much as possible and block the cabinets if you don't have child locks on them. You'll have to keep one eye on her as you shower, but if she's confined, then there isn't much she can get into plus, you'd be shocked at how quickly you can shower! Good luck!

When my daughter was young enough to stay in her bouncy chiar I would put her in that and play peek a boo during my shower. She loved it
When she could get out of the bouncy I would bring her high chair in the bathroom and lay out some soft foods and a bottle so she could have a snack.....peek a boo too.
When she started walking I would just sit her on the bathroom floor and she'd explore and play peek a boo with me.
She's 19 months old now so I just let her play in the house while I shower. Almost everything is baby proof.

This may seem unorthodox, but shower with her. I have a nine month old and she loves taking a shower with mommy! I hold her with my left arm, my shoulder tucked into her armpit and one leg in front of me and the other behind. Arms to the front or one on either side of you. If you do try this you should always situate her before getting in the shower and not let any soap get in between her tummy and yours. You may have to make it a quick shower and forfeit the hair wash, but she might enjoy the new play time with her mommy. if you don't like this idea, the car seat/carrier, play pen, or walker idea works pretty well.

When mine was a crawler, she was in the bathroom with me. I put her in the carrier, gave her a toy or bottle,and took my short shower. That always worked for me

I had an exer-saucer set up in her play room and put on a baby einstein video. I left the bathroom door open and cut my shower to about 3-5 minutes.

put her the bathroom with you and shut the door. just make sure that she has plenty of toys to crawl too, she cannot get into anything that will harm her and that you can keep an eye on her.
you could put her in the crib and be quick but that would be mroe stressful, in my opinion.
do you still have a highchair or saucer? drag them into the bathroom and plop her in it...she may scream but she'll be fine.
life is a lot easier once you learn patience.
have fun! SD

I know all mommies need there me time and mine is usually in the shower or bath but when my kids were young and crawling the best bet was to get them some bath toys and let them play on the shower floor as you shower. It worked for me, hope it works for you.

Do you have one of those Swings...Put the swing or a Play Pin in the bathroom with you...and take a shower. You might play some music they like or sing to them while you get your stuff done. Had a girlfriend who had that problem and she never thot of it....hope it works.
