If dealing with women is limited to sewing or tailoring their clothes, without khalwa (private seclusion with a non-mahram) or direct contact with their bodies when taking measurements, then it is permissible. However, if it leads to these prohibitions, then it is forbidden, and it is necessary to seek another job and advise the father to abandon that.
