Give notice and leave.

He does not sound like a man who would be open to renegotiating your contract based on what you do, so I would hand in my notice. It sounds like he is exploiting your caring nature to get extra work from you. You are a professional. If he wants extra services, he has to pay extra money. If you didn't have a written contract outlining your duties at this job, be sure to have one for your next job. Then if someone wants you to mop floors, you can point to the contract.

You will never be able to reason with this man. I know you need the job, but on your one day off, look for another one. The same way you found this one, you can find another. spread the work among friends, family and previous employers that you are looking. Put up signs in hospitals, senior centers, and nursing homes...even schools, since you get $10 an hour for child care, which is a lot easier than what you are doing. You have options. From what you're telling me, you could make more money working a 40-hour week at McDonalds! Run!

Here is a sample of a Caregiver Contract to use that outlines what you are to do for the client, how many hours you work, and how much you are paid per hour. https://www.agingcare.com/documents/personal_care_agreement_AgingCare.pdf

Lesson learned, never ever go into a new job situation without having something in writing. Otherwise it will come down to "he said, she said".

a verbal contract is not worth the paper it's written on.
since it is verbal, it is he said/she said.
leave. this could escalate.

There are lots of places you could work 40 hours per week and make at least $300, and have some perks and a chance for advancement.

You are being exploited. Why do you think you have to put up with this?
