Try an x-pen before you crate her. Put her bed, toys, food/water, and pee pads if she needs them into the x-pen -- away from anything else she can chew. Leave her chewy things, Kong or rawhides, so she has something to do while mom is away.
I'm sure this is a stressful time for both of them. Good luck resolving this problem.
