Aside from the naughty behaviour I'm wondering, 16 hour days 7 days a week - is that even legal?

The Op never said she is paid to work 7 days a week. She just said she’s paid 16 hours a Day. She may have weekends. Regardless she’s in a live in worker so the laws that apply are very different than standard labor laws.

I sort of don't understand how you can dictate what she does on her time off? I assume you are not paying for for 24 x 7, and would that even be legal? Unless she is waking everyone up at 5 am,, then that would be a politeness issue. I also don't see where she took the car, or brought a man into the house, but maybe I missed another thread? Or someone has PMed her and has more info than is here? I think she is deserving of a break of her own, we all complain all the time about how we don't get a break.. and this CG is doing the same job we all do.. just getting paid for it.. Opps, just saw the bit about the car and man,,, my bad. Maybe some house rules are needed.. But if she is a live in,, why are you not supposed to have her in the house? That is sort of the point of a live in...

So.....why are you concerned that she will be fired if you tell the agency? She’s partying until 5am.....she stole your parents car (taking a car without asking=STEALING).....she snuck a man in to the house.....sounds to me like she needs to be fired. Honestly the agency needs to know about all of this!

She is paid for 16 hrs a day. She snuck a man in the house and took my parents car without asking.

If she is through an agency, I would ask for a replacement

How is she irresponsible about it? Does it interfere with her job? If not, then what she does on her own time is not your concern.

I am guessing that if the person is out and about all night, she will be exhausted the next day.

I am confused.   If she is through an agency and if you tell them she will be fired,   you can certainly give her a warning.   Live-in does not necessarily mean 24/7, but it seems in case, it does.

How is this aide paid. For a 40 hr week? Because any more she should be paid overtime. She can't work 24/7. Her time off is her time off. Is she suppose to be with Mom every night?

It depends on the state.   NYS has a rule that if someone is live-in, and they are given 8 hours of sleep time (at least 5 of which must be continuous) and 3 hours of eating time, they must only be paid for 13 hours, even though their contract is that they are there full time.  I do not agree with this.   It appears that OP uses an agency, so the OT is their problem.
