we have the same problem, with SWMBO having little legs !
one of my boat rules is - no jumping off. One risk is slipping as you say, another is twisted ankles and thirdly the worst case scenario is landing in the drink between boat and pontoon, which could be fatal
we have a number of options, eg
- a 'hook on the side' ladder, so she can climb down
- a temporary spring with a large bowline in the end, which we can drop over a cleat on the end of the pontoon, then motor against it to hold the baot in while we make fast the other lines.
- longer term plan is to have SWMBO at the helm (which needs a box so she can see over the hood), and me doing all the climbing off and rope work.
Good luck!
