Parent as a household employee

Hello!My mother is a household employee for me and my husband. She watches our kids. Our CPA created an EIN number under my husbands name. Even though technically she is not his mom, but mine, will we be exempt from SS, medicare and unemployment taxes? Or does EIN need to be changed to

my name. CPA is saying that it doesn’t matter since it’s the same household. How and when will the relationship between us and mom need to be proven? Thank you
