Do I file as self-employed or Misc. income? I was a babysitter / nanny for a family over the summer while they were at work.

[mmg98-]

The work was done in their home and the family claimed the pay on their tax return as Child Care Expense and used my SS#.

I am 19 years old and a full time college student. Total earned was $1,850.00.

If your compensation was not reported on a W-2, you would report it as self employed on Schedule C.
