In TurboTax, enter Household employee wages at:

Scroll down to Less Common Income
On Miscellaneous Income, 1099-A, 1099-C click the start button

Answer Yes on the next screen. On the net screen, enter your income as Household Employee Wages (ignore the $2200 limit, it doesn’t apply to grandparents) and continue the interview until it completes.
TurboTax puts the amount on line 1 (wages) of form 1040 (line 7 prior to 2018) with the notation “HSH”. It is considered earned income.
