Hi all respected members, need some advise please.
Me & my family is eligible to apply for Citizenship. My wife has worked Part Time / Periodically as a baby sitter / Nanny in 2017 only & she has also declared her Part time income for same in 2017 Taxes.

How to mention this in employment history in Citizenship Forms & do we need to provide any details of that because she is never in contact with any of those whom she helped as a baby sitter/Nanny.

Please note that she is a full time house wife from landing till now.

Kindly advise. Thanks.

Are you and your family members currently permanent residents of Canada? If not, then you are not eligible to apply for Canadian citizenship.
If yes, whether you are employed does not matter, you have to have been present in Canada for 3 years out of the last 5 as permanent residents (non-PR days counting as half days towards the 3 years up to a maximum of 1 year). As long as you are in compliance with CRA requirements, and you have physical presence, you should be able to apply for citizenship (assuming you and your family are PR).

Here is some information about tax requirements and citizenship applications:
