She is with us from the time she gets off work until 9pm as she eats dinner with us. She stays with us every weekend and goes on vacations with us

No. Since she is over the age to be considered a “qualifying child” for tax purposes, you can only claim her as a depend if she made less than $4,300 and you provided more than half her support.

 

You can double-check using the IRS app Whom May I Claim as a Dependent.
