Just to clarify, when you say she works from home you don’t mean she’s working in the US? Because that’s not allowed, regardless of where the employer is based. 
 

As above you can’t petition her until you’re 21 (assuming you’re a USC?) so if she needs to work between now and then she’ll have to go home and then apply for her visa via consular processing.

you do need to research the cost of health care insurance in US as her Bahamas is UK and UK insurance will not cover her once she arrives on the IR5 visa

 

An EHIC or GHIC card will not cover you in America because this is a reciprocal agreement the UK has only with other European countries. In America, many residents have their own private medical insurance that covers them if they fall ill or get injured.

Bahamas is not UK

 

With very few exceptions it is true that non IS schemes are simply not designed/priced to cover US Medical costs. I have been out of the biz for a long time but even for Travel insurance there was a premium mutiplier when providing cove for US.

 

So on what basis is your Mother in the US? When did she enter?

If she’s working remotely while in the US on a tourist visa, that is illegal, and could compromise her ability to get an immigrant visa or green card in the future!

 The Bahamas has been independent for over 50 years.

Working in the U.S in any capacity while here with a visitor visa, is illegal. Remote work COUNTS!
