@Hanpro Please clarify your situation for us. You say you are a nanny. Do you go to the children's home, or do they come to your home? Do you live in or just go there to take care of the children? How are you being paid? Have you had a discussion with the parent who is paying you as to whether they will be issuing a W-2 to you in January? If you have not had that "talk" do it right away.
If you are actually working as a babysitter in your own home then you are self-employed and will be subject to self-employment tax if you have earned even $400.
