This job is ending in a few months anyway, so I am just sticking it out until then, since I feel confident that I would lose the reference if I were to leave before they are done with me.

Quit. Find another part time job. No question.

You're getting taken advantage of by the MB who wants you to her housekeeper. Cut back with that.

Yes, I agree OP that you need a definite break.
Away from her.
A "Mother's Helper" is a term that some people use in their job descriptions to make the job position sound more simple and less complicated than it actually is. They use it to lure people in and to offer less pay. Sounds like that is what has happened here. Classic example.
Unless you really need this position, I would give my notice.
She is not treating you with any respect OP plus she is overworking you and giving you unreasonable expectations on top to boot.
Hope this helps.

Find a new job or be firm and say you can't work extra hours.

I work two part-time jobs. One is fine, the other was supposed to be 25hrs per week, but routinely ask me to cover more time (more like 35), which was fine for a while but I am wanting to cut back and getting guilt trip from MB. It is supposedly a mother's helper gig with 3 under 3 and a SAHM, so I fold 90% of the laundry for their entire family, wash 50% of dishes and do a fair amount of cooming, but MB increasingly leaves me with all 3 kids, and it gets really stressful trying to stay on top of household stuff and manage 3 little ones and give everyone the attention they need. furthermofe, MB seems to always be annoyed about something lately. I know she is stressed out generally and she's not being rude, but she is very quick to point out any mistakes I make (like buying the wrong brand when shopping with 2 toddlers in tow and a deadline to be back at the house so she can go to the gym). To top it all off, we are just not on the same page with most things and I am always second-guessing everything because I want to do it her way, but she isn't great about communicating what she wants.
I am so ready for a break.
