Then that is definitely self-employment income.
The credit has changed for 2022 back to what it was before the pandemic so it is not a refundable credit. So it provides no benefit if your income is low and you don't owe any taxes or if your income is high and you have triggered the AMT. Not sure if any of that applies to you but they're both possibilities.
Also, you should have been asked for all the details about the care provider that you used. There should be an EIN and location away from your house and all of that.
