Can I claim gas for child care credit?

My mother-in-law drives to our house every day to care for my son while my wife and I work. She won't take payment for her service but she agreed to use a credit card that I provided to pay for the gas she used driving back and forth.

We've recently moved a little closer but for most of the year, she drove nearly 1 hr. each way to our house. The total gas bill was ~$1200.

Two questions:

1. Does this qualify as a child care expense?

2. If it does and I claim it, will the IRS hold her liable for taxes on this expense since I'll have to list her name and SSN as the provider?

Thx, Billy
