@Jimcz If the child care provider works in the home of the child, then the babysitter may be a household employee. Did you pay your childcare provider at least $2300 to babysit in your own home? If so they are supposed to get a W-2---not a 1099NEC.

W-2 employees cannot deduct job-related expenses on a federal tax return.
Job-related expenses were eliminated as a federal deduction for W-2 employees by the tax laws that changed for 2018 and beyond. Your state tax laws might be different in AL, AR, CA, HI, MN, NY or PA.
