@kristykuanoni808 We can be more helpful if we know where you were providing the childcare. If you were in the children's home, then you may be a household employee; if you were in your own home, then you are self-employed, as described above. Either way, your original question was about the child and dependent care credit, which you cannot get----the parents of the children get that credit if they paid someone to take care of their children so they could work.
