All entries in the medical get smushed together. You can use the Other Medical (Ctrl + E) to create a "In Home Care" line that will show on future organizers and in the program to be clear where the number came from. 

Hopefully this "employee" meets the tests for independent contractor and there is no future problem regarding whether they should have received a W-2. https://www.care.com/homepay/1099-vs-employee-why-the-difference-matters-when-you-hire-a-caregiver-1212110431#:~:text=When%20you%20hire%20a%20nanny,1099%20to%20handle%20their%20taxes.
