Not free but we used Quickbooks self employed when my wife did in home daycare and it worked great. Was like $15/month and included TurboTax filing and allowed you to transfer everything over in January. Highly recommend it.
I suspect a home daycare isn't a complicated business in regards to inflows and outflows. If you're needing a place to track expenses and income, a decent excel sheet will go a long ways (and a file for all receipts by month). If you're needing a place to make and track invoices (excel still works but requires a bit more desk work on your end), a non subscription based quickbooks will work nicely.
Personally, not a fan of the subscription model of QB, so we use the downloadable version.
unsolicited advice: use excel (or Google Sheets), and learn how / where money comes in and out for a period of time before using specific software.
Good luck in your new endeavor!

Yeah, it’s not too complicated. It’s more for my wife to be able to track expenses, print invoices and receipts. Keep track of payment history for the parents at tax time. Just simple stuff like that so everything is in one place.
I’ll check out the suggestions above and see what might work.
