@Pj8 You have had self-employment income for which you will owe self-employment tax for Social Security and Medicare. You report this income and any expenses you had related to it on your tax return (cleaning supplies, etc?). If you are the custodial parent of a child then you may get some child-related credits like earned income credit and a little child tax credit.
However, you earned very little from working. How were you and your child actually supported? Is there someone else who supported you that can be claiming both of you as dependents? You did not support yourself and a child all year on barely over $3000.
When the Free File software is available that is what you should use to prepare your return. It becomes available in January.
