Your baby sitter is obligated to report all income she gets whether you claim it or not. It is not a "bother" it is a legal obligation.

You need her SSN or Tax ID so that you can claim the amount you paid her to take care of your child while you worked.  The IRS will match what you say you paid her to the earnings she reported on her tax return.  They need to match.  It is her responsibility to report the income.

A Tax ID is a number a person can obtain from the IRS to use for identification when they are self-employed, etc. so that they do not have to give out their Social Security number to others.  If you are golng to claim childcare you must have either a SSN or a Tax ID for the childcare provider.
