You can get a child care credit for money paid to care for your child while you worked. You must include the babysitter's name and social security number on your tax return. To enter the expense, type child care credit in the search box and click on the same phrase in the drop down box and click on jump to.

and the sitter is required to claim this income, whether you do or not.
