Work here, live here in, I do not payent. In addition to housing, I am paid $1,200 monthly, no days off, caring for 8 clients. Is this right?

This would be illegal in the US. Call your state dept of Labor if you are in the US.

You know it's not right and there's no need to ask. No doubt you're also working illegally and whoever employs and pays you is well aware of it. So are you.
Move out and go somewhere else before you get in trouble for working illegally.

No its not right. There are laws that cover live-ins. You have a 40 hr week like everyone else. You get days off. You get paid at least the minimum wage. Payroll taxes must be taken out. When you are not working, they need to higher aides. No one can be worked 24/7.

You need to call the Labor Board and find out your rights. If you are going to do this type of work privately, you need a contract.
