Get your taxes done using TurboTax

@Hanpro You are self-employed.   You are NOT a household employee since you do not go to the home of the children you are caring for.     You need to be keeping good records of anything you spend for food, toys, equipment,  craft supplies, etc. to use with the children you are caring for.
