I personally don't see the big deal. We hired a guy for a few weekends to help my husband, paid in cash. I doubt he claimed it.
When I was a teen and babysat I never claimed it either.
I think there is a big difference in someone opening a daycare and not claiming her income compared to a mom looking after her friends kids and getting a bit of cash as compensation. Yes it may be "against the law" but I can guarantee have all "broke the law" at one point or another in some aspect of our life.
Each to their own. As a parent I would want the tax receipt so would not use someone that wouldn't give one.
For those who say report! Well that is what is wrong with society these days IMO. Too many people putting their noses in other peoples business.
