Babysitting from Family Members

[FinancialSolutions_0927]

Hi, 

Just trying to do the right thing here. I babysat for my daughter, which I was paid for it should I claim that on my taxes?

No, you don't need to claim monies that were given to you for caring for your grandchild(ren).

Even if I did it as part of my business? Since it was taking time away from my business to do other work.

If you have a daycare business then yes, you would need to claim it as income.
