Does a babysitter need to supply me with their complete social insurance number? Or are the last 3 digits OK

My daughter has hired a babysitter for her child, but babysitter is hesitant in providing SIN

The childcare provider needs to provide their full SIN on the receipts issued which you are claiming as childcare expenses.

If CRA does a review and requests proof of expenses, any receipts without a complete SIN number or name of a Registered Childcare facility would likely be disallowed and you would lose that deduction.
