We need to know where the childcare took place.
If it was in your home, you are supposed to issue a W-2 to her.
If the childcare took place in the babysitter's home, you do not need to issue any sort of document to her. But you need her SSN or her Tax ID. She still needs to report it on her own tax return. If you enter the amount you paid her on your return, the amount she reports on her own return has to match. The IRS cross checks that.
