Kidding aside; its daycare so a taxpayer can go to work to earn income to pay taxes on, thats the idea. So generally daycare is eligible but 'babysitters' arent.

The thing is my wife works evenings so she is able to get a babysitter to watch the kids for a bit before I get home. I'm sure she doesn't claim the cash we pay her so I guess we can't use this deduction right?
