Dependent care FSA eligibility for jobs like Instacart shopper

Hi,

I'm employed and my company has dependent care FSA plan. My wife is working as an Instacart shopper and she gets 1099-NEC. I know that in order to be eligible for dependent care FSA, both should be employed. So my question is. Are Instacart shoppers as contractors are treated as employed and eligible for dependent care FSA? Thank you.
