Finding in-home caregiver jobs in Daly City
Daly City is a city of 101,898 people (California Department of Finance, January 2026) directly south of San Francisco, and its homes are fuller than most. The average household holds 3.10 people, and in 13,341 of the city's 32,262 households at least one member is 65 or older. Many older residents live with a son, daughter or grandchildren, so a private caregiver here often works alongside relatives rather than replacing them: someone to cover weekday hours while the adults commute, to help with a bath before the grandchildren get home, or to sit with a parent who has come back from Seton Medical Center on Sullivan Avenue. Families in the 94014 and 94015 ZIP codes post on the board above, and the list changes as they publish.
Language is the first thing many of these families screen for. Daly City has 29,575 residents who identify as Filipino alone, about 29% of the population, and 19,736 people aged five and over speak Tagalog at home; 7,739 of those speakers told the Census they handle English less than "very well." Chinese (15,111 speakers) and Spanish (13,353) follow. Tagalog, Cantonese, Mandarin or Spanish belongs at the top of your profile if you speak it; also say how comfortable you are with medical vocabulary in that language. Then add how you get around: BART's Daly City station on John Daly Boulevard links the north end of town to San Francisco and the East Bay, 11.8% of Daly City commuters use public transportation, and 8.4% of households have no car at all.

Pay
Caregiver pay in Daly City: 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 ($18.66 mean) | BLS OEWS, May 2025; 119,120 jobs; concentration 1.81× national |
| IHSS provider wage, San Mateo County | $21.70 | CDSS; effective January 1, 2026 |
| California minimum wage | $16.90 | effective January 1, 2026 |
| Nursing assistants, San Francisco–Oakland–Fremont, CA metro (San Francisco, Alameda, Contra Costa, San Mateo and Marin counties) | $26.96 median | BLS OEWS, May 2025 (certified roles, for comparison) |
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.
Daly City has had its own minimum wage since February 2019. It rose to $17.50 an hour on January 1, 2026 and moves each January with the regional consumer price index. The city applies it to adults and minors who put in at least two hours of work per week within Daly City, and that tips and benefits such as health insurance cannot be counted toward it. The posted notices are printed in Tagalog, Chinese and Spanish as well as English. The ordinance is framed around businesses; if a household rather than an agency pays you, ask the City Manager's Office (650-991-8127) whether it applies. Against that floor, San Mateo County pays IHSS providers $21.70, well above the $17.28 median BLS reports for aides across the metro. A CNA certificate changes the picture: the regional median for nursing assistants is $26.96.
How to enroll as a provider in San Mateo County, with the office phone lines and orientation steps, is in the IHSS San Mateo 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 Daly City
California's rules apply unchanged in Daly City. Non-medical help in a private home needs no state license. An independent caregiver decides alone whether to list with the state aide registry; a licensed agency that hires you will insist on it. IHSS in Daly City is run from the county office at 2000 Alameda de las Pulgas in San Mateo: the person receiving care chooses a provider, and that provider enrolls, attends an orientation and passes a background check. Skilled nursing facilities and hospitals ask for a CDPH-certified nurse assistant. California law makes you report any suspected mistreatment of an elder or dependent adult; San Mateo County takes those calls around the clock at 844-868-0938. The California caregiver requirements guide has the statewide detail.

The area
Daly City in numbers
The ACS 2020–2024 estimates count 20,856 Daly City residents aged 65 and older (20.5%), of whom 3,041 are 85 or older; the city's median age is 42.6. Nearly three in ten residents 65 and over (29.5%) report a disability, and 3,036 older residents live alone. Half the population (49.7%) was born outside the United States, three quarters of them in Asia. Median household income is $123,547, but 60.2% of homes are owner-occupied and the median gross rent is $2,551, so a family's budget for care often depends on pooled earnings from several adults in one house.
