Baby sitting?

Mods, please move if its in the wrong forum!
I am Going back to work full time,working nights.
My husband has a new job, 48 hour shifts (sleeping in)
Some times our shifts will clash.
So we were thinking of a baby sitter.
We thought £40 a night. This wont be a regular thing, just when needed.
How will the tax work?
Just want a simple cash in hand affair,as after a night shift I am knackered. No single babysitter will be used. we have a few lined up, incase we are let down,last minute. Of course they will be background checked,before they are left with the kids.
We dont claim tax credit now,as I cancelled it,as soon as my new job started. I dont want to pay anything back,incase our earnings go over the bracket. Dont know if that matters.
Your thoughts?

What do you mean tax work? As in ensuring the babysitter is paying tax on her income or you wanting to deduct the payment from your tax liabilities?
If it is the former then, presuming she isnt your employee but simply a sole trader, then it isnt your issue. Sole traders not the client is responsible for income declaration etc0
