Mom lives with us and helps take care of our child

My mom lives with my wife and I. She takes care of our baby and I pay for rent/groceries and give her some money each month. Annually it would be less than 10,000. I entered her as a dependent in Turbo tax but when I try to claim a tax credit for Child Care and enter in her SSN, Turbo Tax gives me an error saying that the Care Provider's (my mom) SSN cannot be the same number as one of my dependents (also my mom). Do I have choose between calling her my dependent and claiming the Child Care deduction?
