Oh, what precious babies! I'm sure she and her kittens would appreciate some sort of nesting box full of softness. Other than that, be sure to feed her the very best food you can manage. Kitten food is great for new mamas, since they need every calorie they can get their paws on! Once the kittens are older, they will need shots, and everyone needs to be spayed or neutered. If all of this is beyond your family's ability to cope with, let us know where you are, and we'll try to find a rescue near you who can help this little family.

Other than leaving food and water outside the entrance to your crawl space I would not get any closer or disturb her in any way. Momcats can be very wary of people and any intrusion into her space may cause her to move her kittens somewhere less safe.
