Employment Taxes For Household Employees

Household employees include housekeepers, maids, baby-sitters, gardeners, and others who work in or around your private residence as your employees. Repairmen, plumbers, contractors, and other business people who work for you as independent contractors, are not your employees. Household workers are your employees if you can control not only the work they do but how they do it...........

I am a babysitter for this family who pays me as an independent contractor. I don't really think of myself as a business or a contractor because i show up for work at the hours they tell me to and do the specific chores and duties they ask me to do (well most of it anyway). I even feed their meatball of a dog his little gourmet dinner of pureed peas and gravy. On top of that I use their car to drive the little hellions around in and provide the services on site at their mess of a house.
They said because i babysit for another family (their cousins) and i took a CPR class that I’m a contractor who is responsible for paying my own taxes. Can i sue them for the employment taxes they have made me pay for the last two years? What about the medical expenses i had last week after their kid stapled my arm?
