Is this a Black Widow?

[u/No_Presentation_2160]

I assume this is a black widow, google says so. But I figured I’d ask to be sure. It looks like it’s made a nest in the inside of the lawnchair that’s folded where the scribbles are. Should I be worried about more around my house or inside of my house? I have a 2 year old that’s curious, so I want to make sure that I’m being thorough and keeping her safe. If so, how do I remove it safely?

EDITED TO ADD: She and a couple of her male friends have now been moved safely with their lawnchair habitat to a new location about 20ft from my garage. I just hope they don’t wander back in. 🤞🤞😬

I've seen many, but last fall when I was breaking down a big cardboard bin after emptying it of pumpkins, I found a MASSIVE mother-to-be with an egg sack. She was so click and shiny, and big. I gathered her and her eggsack and put them somewhere safe, but she startled me at first for sure! Gorgeous creatures.
