Finding in-home caregiver jobs in El Dorado Hills
El Dorado Hills has no city government. It is a census-designated place in El Dorado County, ZIP 95762, so county rules and county services apply, and the El Dorado Hills Community Services District runs its parks and senior center. For a caregiver the important line on the map is the western edge: Folsom, Rancho Cordova and the rest of Sacramento County sit next door, so the postings above come from both sides of that boundary, and a profile that says "El Dorado Hills and Folsom" will be read by families in each. Read the Folsom page too. Families here mostly expect a caregiver who drives; public transportation carried 0.4% of local commuters in the ACS 2020–2024 estimates.
What families here ask for is usually private-pay rather than IHSS. Median household income is $165,349, only 3.5% of residents live below the poverty line, and 87.5% of homes are owner-occupied, so the typical household paying for care is an older couple or a widowed parent in a house they own, often with grown children who work from home or commute to Sacramento. These families tend to read profiles closely. Write in specific terms: the conditions you have handled, whether you can do transfers, whether you drive clients to appointments in Folsom, and what references you can offer. Language can help too: 16.3% of El Dorado Hills residents over age four talk at home in something other than English, with Indo-European languages (5.5%) ahead of Spanish (3.1%).

Caregiver pay in El Dorado Hills: how much caregivers make
Public figures first, then what they mean for private work. Statistics describe employed aides across the Sacramento–Roseville–Folsom, CA metro (El Dorado County); 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, Sacramento–Roseville–Folsom, CA metro (El Dorado County) | $16.50 median ($17.20 mean) | BLS OEWS, May 2025; 60,350 jobs; concentration 2.02× national |
| IHSS provider wage, El Dorado County | $17.40 | 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.
Two published rates frame the market. Sacramento-area aides were paid a $16.50 median per BLS (May 2025), and El Dorado County's IHSS rate is $17.40 from January 1, 2026; with no city government there is no local wage ordinance, and the statewide $16.90 governs. Across the line in Sacramento County the IHSS rate in the CDSS table is $19.15, a gap worth knowing if you hold IHSS cases in both counties. Private work is where the money is here: in a community where the median home is valued at $909,500, families paying out of pocket generally expect to pay above the IHSS rate for an experienced caregiver, and many reimburse mileage for appointment runs. Set your rate with that in mind rather than matching the metro median.
How to enroll as a provider in El Dorado County, with the office phone lines and orientation steps, is in the IHSS El Dorado 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 El Dorado Hills
Because El Dorado Hills is unincorporated, state law and El Dorado County programs apply directly. Non-medical work for a family carries no state licensing requirement; joining the Home Care Aide Registry ($35 for two years, with a background clearance) is optional for independents and mandatory for agency staff. For IHSS hours with a recipient living here, you enroll with the El Dorado County IHSS Public Authority at 3057 Briw Road in Placerville, (530) 621-6287, which handles the SOC 426 and SOC 846 forms, Live Scan and the state video orientation; a client in Folsom would instead go through Sacramento County (see the Sacramento County IHSS guide). Hospital and skilled nursing employers want a CNA certificate. Paid caregivers must report suspected elder abuse, and El Dorado County APS takes calls around the clock on (530) 642-4800.

Caregiver jobs in El Dorado Hills: frequently asked questions
Is El Dorado Hills a city?
No. El Dorado Hills is a census-designated place without a city council, governed as part of unincorporated El Dorado County; the county provides IHSS and adult services, and the El Dorado Hills Community Services District runs local parks and the Gilmore Senior Center.
Do most El Dorado Hills clients pay privately or through IHSS?
Mostly privately, given household incomes and very low poverty here. IHSS cases exist, at the county rate of $17.40, but most postings from this community are families paying a caregiver out of pocket.
I live in Folsom. Can I take clients in El Dorado Hills?
Yes. Private work has no county boundary. For IHSS, the client's county runs the case, so an El Dorado Hills recipient means enrolling with the El Dorado County Public Authority in Placerville.
Do I need a car to work here?
Almost always. Only 0.4% of local commuters use public transportation. EDT GO vans cover the community on weekdays for $3.00 a ride, which helps clients more than it helps a caregiver with several stops a day.
Where can I train as a CNA nearby?
Folsom Lake College on College Parkway runs the eight-week NURSE 100 course; ask the career programs office at CareerPrograms@flc.losrios.edu about the next cohort, which the college lists as to be announced.
