I can see how having to get up and travel to your Mum's new house to look after the kids is going to be hard. I am just hoping your Mum won't continue to use you as a slave.

@Queenie i think itll be a little easier to say no when they mive out as i can do the mornings however of an afternoon unless mum isnt home on time but even after that its ny time. I will onlt have to be there when someone's not there for the kids instead if them being here 24/7

No @outlander
You don't need to be there for the kids in the morning - they're your mother's kids and she has to take care of them in the morning and when you recover your health you have your own 2 jobs and need time for your appointments and your ME time and all the time you need to care for yourself
Yes - I know it's hard for you to say "No" but it's totally unreasonable for you to work away from your home - the kids can go into day-care before school if your mother continues to work -
I had two kids and I was there for them most of the time - now and again they were latch-key - we all do the best we can and this is very much your mother's problem
One thing you can do is to trade-off with time to spending time with the kids some evenings ands enjoy their company rather than get run down again
I know it's hard - because you keep telling us how hard it is - so yes - tell your mother you will trade off or maybe she can pay you -
Regardless of the future you are certainly not well enough to do all you have in your programme until your health recovers
I'm sorry this is the case for you life but you are the only one who can change this and yes - I do understand
