How to file taxes as a nanny without a w2 or employer

We need more information.  Do you work as a nanny in the employer's home?  Did you earn over $2100 in 2019?  If so you are a household employee and the employer should be giving you a W-2.  How were you paid?

Since your employer did not properly issue a W-2 for you and withhold any Social Security or Medicare, it means you pay all of it as self-employment tax.
