Finding in-home caregiver jobs in Crockett

Crockett, a census-designated place, has no city council or city hall. Its local public body is the Crockett Community Services District, approved by Crockett and Port Costa voters in June 2006, which handles sewers and recreation, including the Community Center at 850 Pomona Street, the pool and Alexander Park. It runs no health or home care program, so paid care here is arranged with families or paid through Contra Costa County IHSS.

State files show almost no care employers in town. CDPH's October 16, 2026 listing has nothing licensed at a 94525 address, whether hospital, clinic, nursing facility, hospice or home health office, and HRSA's health center file has no Crockett site. The May 2025 CDSS community care file holds one Crockett entry, a six-bed adult residential facility awaiting its license. So the work is in private homes: mornings with a parent who lives alone, appointment rides, some evenings.

The population skews older: ACS puts Crockett's median age at 47.5, and 638 of 1,539 households (41.5%) include someone 65 or older. In your profile, give 94525, say if Port Costa is in your range and if you drive.

Pay

Caregiver pay in Crockett: 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.

Home health and personal care aides, San Francisco–Oakland–Fremont, CA metro (San Francisco, Alameda, Contra Costa, San Mateo and Marin counties)$17.28 medianBLS OEWS, May 2025; 119,120 jobs; concentration 1.81× national

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 4.6% of Crockett's labor force was unemployed, on average, between August 2025 and August 2026, according to EDD estimates; Contra Costa County averaged 4.7% and California 5.3% over those months. EDD estimates unincorporated places from county data, so treat it as approximate; for about 1,633 people in the labor force, the monthly figures ran from 4.0% to 5.2%. For caregivers the steadier number is IHSS: $20.03 an hour in Contra Costa, plus overtime and travel time, as the Contra Costa IHSS guide explains.

BLS counts 119,120 aides in the five-county metro, a broad benchmark for a community of about 3,400. UC Berkeley's Labor Center inventory has no Crockett ordinance, so private pay here starts at California's $16.90. A Benicia or Vallejo client is a Solano IHSS case at $18.10, since the client's county sets the rate. A Crockett family employing you directly owes time-and-a-half for your tenth hour in a day and your 46th in a week; the community's median household income is $110,899 (ACS).

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.

Rules

Caregiver requirements in California, applied to Crockett

Private non-medical work for a Crockett family needs no state license. An agency job needs a Home Care Aide Registry listing from CDSS ($35, valid two years) before you are placed. For IHSS, the Contra Costa Public Authority, (800) 333-1081, takes registry applicants through an interview, reference checks, a Department of Justice Live Scan and new provider orientation; after that you meet consumers, with no guarantee of hours. Facility jobs in hospitals or nursing homes call for CNA certification. Caregivers are mandated reporters under WIC §15630; Contra Costa APS is staffed around the clock, 1 (800) 510-2020 on a county landline and (925) 229-8434 by cell. See the California caregiver requirements guide.

Questions

Caregiver jobs in Crockett: frequently asked questions

Are there care facilities in Crockett that hire aides?

Not at present. Neither CDPH nor CDSS shows an operating licensed employer at a 94525 address; the one pending adult residential license is for six beds. Most Crockett work is private or IHSS.

Is unemployment high in Crockett?

No. EDD puts Crockett near 4.6% over the twelve months to August 2026, close to Contra Costa County (4.7%) and under California (5.3%).

My IHSS client lives in Crockett but I live in Solano County. What am I paid?

Contra Costa's $20.03 an hour. Your own address does not matter; only the client's does. A Benicia or Vallejo client would mean Solano's $18.10.

Can I get to Crockett clients without a car?

WestCAT Route 11 links the Hercules Transit Center, Rodeo and Crockett on weekdays and Saturdays, with stops along Pomona Street. WestCAT publishes Route 11 timetables for weekdays and Saturdays only, so plan Sunday shifts around a car or a ride.
