I assume the children are his.
There are lots of questions you should ask yourself.
Do you have an independent source of income?
Does your brother need you to share the rent? (Can he afford the home on his own?)
You drive the kids to school, cook and clean. How does your brother contribute to the household? Does he cut the lawn, pay rent and utilities, repair things?
If you feel things aren't fair - talk to your brother. Maybe he can help even things out. If not - are you prepared to move? Can you afford to live somewhere else and enjoy the same standard of living you have today.
Do you enjoy the company of your brother and his family?
What will happen to them if you leave?
I don't think that finding out how much live-in-housekeepers make will solve your problem - unless you're considering getting a job as one.
Right now - your'e doing the same work but as a family member - not an employee. Do you really want to change that?

I know you love your family, but it sounds like you are getting used big time! I don't know how much a live in maid would make, maybe you should look for ads in your local area. If you can make it on your own, why not sit down with your brother, tell him that you are tired of doing everything. Tell him you are going to move out, you will still help out occasionally, but, being a maid is tiring! If you can't afford to move out, still sit down with your brother and talk. Tell him the same thing about helping out. Afterall, you have a life too! Start making yourself unavailable sometimes. Volunteer somewhere a few hours a day. That should make your selfish brother have to start stepping up to the plate to do more for himself.
