So quick question

So quick question I'm stuck here for 3 years having to take care of my mom and literally be her Butler / secretary having to do everything for her And it's financially hurting me Cuz I'm not getting paid a cent to have my time spent watching her when I could be out there getting a job but because of her I'm hindered.
So is taking care of her, being her secretary (an unpaid secretary) count as freelance work and if it does I can get unemployment benefits from it?
Please note I'm not joking around I need real legitimate answers

It sucks and I know the exact feeling. You may be lucky enough to live in one of those places that can pay caregivers, start by looking for the website of the Area Agency on Aging (permitted by the Older Americans Act of 1965) for your county/city, there ought to be a page that describes what's available somewhere; they'll probably have a phone number as well where one can ask questions.
You're getting taken advantage of by the sounds of it.
