Get your taxes done using TurboTax

According to the IRS, people that provide child care are considered to be self-employed.  They should report this income on a Schedule C.  They will also be able to include expenses related to the service that they have provided for you.  

 

They should also provide you with their information because you can claim the Child and Dependent Care Credit on your tax return.
