Family Taking Advantage of Me

So I’ve been unemployed for 4 months (not by choice I was laid off) and I’ve been applying everyday for months on end. I feel like my family is taking advantage of me because I’m unemployed like having me do things for them just because I’m home unwillingly. My sister who has also helped me during this time and I’m very grateful but she kind of always uses me whenever her kids are sick because she doesn’t have anyone else to help at the moment so I understand, but I don’t always want to take care of them. I’m already dealing with my own depression and bullshit but it’s hard to really refuse otherwise I will sound and look like an asshole, and they are toddlers and not easy to take care of especially when they are sick. Like if I was working who else would they turn too I feel like it’s kind of unfair that I’m always being used this way. I didn’t choose to be unemployed and I’m doing everything in my power to get out of unemployment even applying to schools for different career choices, but I’m tired and in all honesty don’t want to take care of kids.
