2 against 1 nightmare!

I'm about to lose my mind and need help quickly! I have a daughter, 4 and a son, almost 3. Naptime and bedtimes are a nightmare! My current routine (after pj's, brush teeth, and stories) is to let DD play quietly in her room while I put DS down (rock, songs, lay down) then I go back to her room and put her to sleep (snuggling & songs, tuck in). This was going great until about 3 months ago. My daughter now cries immediately when I mention nap or bedtime, she cries when I leave her, screams for me and comes out of her room when I'm putting DS down. DS cries because he doesn't want to sleep in his room anymore, and continuously comes out of his room when I'm putting DD to sleep. No matter how consistent I am putting them back in their beds, this takes a minimum of an hour. Also, I have tried no naps with early bedtime and it was the same. I have completely lost my patience and need a solution ASAP! Please help!

    Also, I have tried letting them sleep together but DS is obnoxious and keeps DD awake and she doesn't want him to sleep in her room.

    Sounds horrible! Do you have help? A DH or partner that can tag team bedtime with you?

    Unfortunately DH is usually working so I'm on my own. :(
