Finding in-home caregiver jobs in Byron
Byron has no city government of its own. Contra Costa County names it as one of the unincorporated communities in Supervisorial District 3, and the Byron Municipal Advisory Council, an advisory body to the Board of Supervisors, meets at 6 p.m. on the fourth Tuesday of the month at St. Anne's Church, 2800 Camino Diablo, Room 1-A. The Census Bureau counts Byron as a census-designated place of 1,837 residents (±909) in 534 households (ACS 2020–2024).
That church address is also where most local care activity sits. CDSS licenses St. Anne Village Inc to run an adult day program there for up to 15 participants, the only licensed care facility of any kind in the 94514 files for elderly homes, adult residential facilities and home care organizations. The nonprofit's IRS filings describe it as a respite service for adults living with memory loss or needing companionship, run by trained, screened staff and volunteers, with meals provided. CDPH's facility file lists no home health agency, hospice or clinic in Byron. Outside that program, paid care in Byron comes from private households and IHSS recipients.
Byron households are large: ACS puts the average at 3.44 people, and 4.05 in owner-occupied homes, so many older clients are likely to live with relatives who share the care. Expect to be hired for set blocks that give the family a break or cover working hours. In your profile, give 94514, your available hours and any memory care or day-program experience. Spanish is spoken at home by 23.3% of residents five and older, which is worth listing if you share it.

Types of caregiver jobs in Byron
Private posts here typically ask for weekday daytime help while adult children work, help with showering, dressing and meals, rides to appointments, and evening or weekend breaks for the spouse or grown child doing most of the caring. ACS counts 226 residents aged 65 and over (±117), and 34.5% of them report a disability, a group that includes people who need hands-on help. A day program is a sensible first step if you are new: you learn supervised group care, activities and meal help before taking a client on your own.

Caregiver pay in Byron: how much caregivers make
Public figures first, then what they mean for private work. Statistics describe employed aides across the San Francisco–Oakland–Fremont, CA metro (San Francisco, Alameda, Contra Costa, San Mateo and Marin counties); private rates on CaregiverConnect are agreed between each caregiver and family and are not tracked by any agency.
| Measure | Hourly | Source and coverage |
|---|---|---|
| Home health and personal care aides, San Francisco–Oakland–Fremont, CA metro (San Francisco, Alameda, Contra Costa, San Mateo and Marin counties) | $17.28 median | BLS OEWS, May 2025; 119,120 jobs; concentration 1.81× national |
| IHSS provider wage, Contra Costa County | $20.03 | CDSS; effective January 1, 2026 |
| California minimum wage | $16.90 | effective January 1, 2026 |
Who is the employer. A family that hires you directly is your employer under California's Domestic Worker Bill of Rights. The state minimum wage ($16.90 an hour from 1 January 2026; some cities set more, for example $17.75 in the City of San Diego) is the legal floor, and a personal attendant earns overtime at 1.5× after 9 hours in a day or 45 in a week. The main exceptions are IHSS recipients and an employer's own parent, spouse or child. Source: California DIR, Domestic Worker Bill of Rights FAQ.
About 13.6% of Byron's labor force was unemployed, on average, between August 2025 and August 2026, according to EDD estimates. Contra Costa County's average was 4.7% and California's 5.3%. With a labor force of about 900, Byron is the kind of small place EDD estimates from county totals, so the figure and its monthly range of 11.7% to 15.0% are approximate. For anyone looking for reliable local hours, Contra Costa IHSS pays $20.03 (see the Contra Costa IHSS guide). County lines matter for pay. An IHSS client's own county sets the rate, so the CDSS table gives $18.97 for a client in San Joaquin County, which includes Tracy, and $22.10 from July 1, 2026 for one in Alameda County, which includes Livermore. UC Berkeley's Labor Center inventory includes no entry for unincorporated Contra Costa County, Tracy or Livermore, so the $16.90 state minimum applies to private work in all three.
How to enroll as a provider in Contra Costa County, with the office phone lines and orientation steps, is in the IHSS Contra Costa County guide. IHSS wages for every county we cover, with effective dates, are in the IHSS pay by county guide.
How the public numbers relate to private rates, and what affects them, is covered in the caregiver pay guide.
Caregiver requirements in California, applied to Byron
Hiring by a family for companionship, personal care or housework does not require a state license. If you want day-program work, ask St. Anne Village what training it expects of new staff or volunteers. Agencies licensed to send aides into homes must list them in the CDSS aide registry, where $35 buys two years of registration. For IHSS, the county Public Authority in Pleasant Hill manages enrollment: you apply, complete orientation and Live Scan fingerprinting, and to join the registry you also pass a face-to-face interview and reference checks. CNA certification from CDPH is needed for hospital and nursing-facility jobs. Suspected abuse must be reported; Contra Costa APS takes calls 24 hours at 1 (800) 510-2020 on county landlines and (925) 229-8434 on mobile phones. The requirements guide has the full rules.

Who employs caregivers in Byron?
The only licensed care employer in the 94514 files is St. Anne Village Inc, whose day program on Camino Diablo has room for 15 participants under its CDSS license. Beyond that, work comes from families hiring directly and from IHSS recipients.
If I live in Byron and take a client in Tracy, which IHSS wage applies?
The client's county decides. Tracy is in San Joaquin County, where IHSS pays $18.97 an hour, while a client in Byron or elsewhere in Contra Costa County brings $20.03. Alameda County clients, including Livermore, are paid at $22.10 from July 1, 2026.
Is the minimum wage in Byron higher than the state rate?
No. As an unincorporated community Byron has no wage ordinance, and Berkeley's Labor Center records none covering the county's unincorporated areas, so private employers here follow California's $16.90.

It is an approximate EDD estimate for a labor force of about 900, built from county totals, and it moved between 11.7% and 15.0% over the year. Contra Costa County as a whole averaged 4.7% over the same months.
Can I train as a nursing assistant while living in Byron?
The county's East County options include Pittsburg Adult Education Center, whose 16-week CNA course meets in the evenings. Mt. Diablo Adult Education in Concord also runs one; the county page has details.
