No, this is not correct.
an Aupair in the US works a maximum of 35 hours a week doing baby sitting and light housekeeping. She is compensated with full housing and boarding in a private room (not with your child), and with pocket money in the 150 to 200 US a WEEK. Of course fees vary depending on the country and on the demand.
In addition to that, in the US you have to cover the Agency fees (about 5000 US) once a year, for the selection process, the work permit, the insurance, the flight to the US.
There are abuses of course, as well as illegal situations, but if one sticks to the legal approach, there is protection.
Note anyway that it remains an employment, not a vacation.
