More details to this question:
I work as a nanny and get paid cash. I have kept records of my payments, and I want to pay my taxes, but I am wondering how to file my taxes when I have not filled out any official tax forms for this job. Also, on the off chance that I get audited, would my employers word be enough to prove that I got paid the amount I said I did?

If you worked as a nanny in your employer's household, your employer is committing tax fraud by not withholding taxes from your wages and paying the employer's share of social security, Medicare, workers compensation and unemployment taxes. In any case since you kept records, file the amount that they paid you as wages, then just follow the rest of the 1040A form. Include a letter to the IRS explaining why you don't have a W-2.
