You have to submit a separate application for your child for their NEXUS Card; you cannot add the child to your card.
NEXUS Card holders must be residents of Canada or the United States so your mother is not eligible.

Just received email regarding renewing my NEXUS membership. I’m a Canadian citizen married to a US Citizen and have just applied for a green card for permanent residence in the U.S. (case is pending). Can I still renew my NEXUS membership?
Yes
I just changed my name to my married name on my Canadian passport. Do I need to change my name on my nexus card too?
Yes, of course you do.
How do I book Nexus interviews for myself and my wife , it seems we have two separate accounts
First you need to make sure your appointments are booked close together (preferably in consecutive spots). Then you need to call the Enrolment Centre where you are booked and ask if you can be seen together. You can also ask when you show up for the first of your appointments.
I have to replace my lost Nexus card.What do I need to do?
First you need to report it lost to the nearest enrolment centre. (It does not have to be the enrolment centre you had your interview at.)
I recently got married and changed my name on my Canadian license and health card. I have not yet updated my passport. The two identification documents tied to my Nexus are my passport (old name) and license (new name). Can I update the license to the new name, or will this effect my nexus status?
Updating your license will not, in itself, affect your NEXUS. But if you are asked to present an ID in addition to your NEXUS and you have no other IDs in your name, you may have issues. So you should update your NEXUS Card after you update your license.
Are two Nexus applications required if we plan on using it for both air and land travel?
No, only one application is necessary. But you need to make sure you get an iris scan as you cannot use your NEXUS Card for air travel without the iris scan. Iris scans are only available at some enrolment centres.
Can I fly into the USA with an expired Nexus card? And use the Nexus line?
No. Of course you can’t use the NEXUS line if your NEXUS Card is expired. That’s what expired means.
My daughter’s Canadian passport expires on April 16. During that time we will be in the United States. Will she have a problem coming back using her Nexus card on April 17?
If you are flying, your daughter will not be allowed to enter the US if her passport expires before your planned date of departure. However, the NEXUS Card is sometimes acceptable as a passport replacement when driving across the border.
