Yes, but you will still need to issue them a 1099 NEC if you paid them over $600. You will issue the 1099 NEC in your name and social security number and then you will be able to deduct the amount you pay them. This is called a contract labor expense and you would report this to offset some of the income on your 1099 NEC.
Once they have the 1099 NEC issued from you, they can then report the 1099 NEC on their own personal tax return. Please view this IRS link for instructions on filing the 1099 NEC.
Here is a link you can use to create your 1099 NEC to give to your helper. Keep in mind, when you file it, you would use your own name as the name of the business and your social security number to create the business profile. Once the profile is complete, you can issue the 1099 NEC to your helper. You will need their Social Security Number to complete the 1099 NEC.
