Does "babysitting" fall under "self-employment" or "casual labour"?

To be considered casual, the work must be unreliable, occasional and unpredictable. If the work is stable and expected to continue, it would not be considered casual. Also consider that if you report your babysitting as casual labour, you will not be able to claim any expenses.
