If your sister takes care of your children so you can work, you can enter her information as a childcare provider for the childcare credit. You will need her Social Security number or her Tax ID. And...does she take care of the children at your house or her house? If she comes to your home she might be a "household employee."

If she takes care of the children in her own home, then she has self-employment income for which you do not need to issue a tax document -- but she must report the income on her own tax return.
