The answer is no.
"Payments to Relatives or Dependents - The care provider can't be your spouse, the parent of your qualifying individual, your child who is under the age of 19, or a dependent for whom you or your spouse may claim an exemption on your return." Reference: https://www.irs.gov/taxtopics/tc602.html
