I agree with Hektor, putting in a lot of effort around the house can ease a lot of the tension, but I think something that will count a hell of a lot more is if she can see that you're putting in a lot of effort to better your situation.
Don't let her feel like you're just mooching off her, as she will, as much as she'll try not to, start to feel a lot of resentment. Really put in a solid effort to find new work and better your situation. Like others have said as well, let her know that you do appreciate the help she's given you, don't let her feel like she's been taken for granted.
