I'm a child care giver so I have to take my client to the park from his school take him to eat and home etc. I classified a room in my home the game room we watch movies and games in this room like an entertainment center can i deduct mileage to my home now?

Pretty much so, yes.

If you go somewhere that is strictly personal and there is no purpose to the child being with you, then that may not be deductible.

Yes, if there is a business purpose of the trip (bringing the child from school to somewhere to watch the child), it is deductible.

A portion of your home expenses will also be deductible.  TurboTax should walk you through that.
