Finding in-home caregiver jobs in Georgetown
Georgetown has no city government. The Census Bureau maps Georgetown as a census-designated place in unincorporated El Dorado County, covering 15.1 square miles of land, and its public services come from the county and from special districts. The Georgetown Divide Public Utility District runs water service from 6425 Main Street, the Georgetown Divide Recreation District holds its board meetings at the Georgetown Community Center on Lower Main Street, and Black Oak Mine Unified runs Georgetown School. None of those bodies hires home caregivers, so the work here is almost entirely private households and IHSS.
The client base is unusually old. ACS 2020–2024 puts the median age of Georgetown residents at 63.8, and 74.4% of the community's 1,126 households include at least one person aged 65 or more. In about 467 homes, the sole occupant is 65 or older. When you build your profile, say that you are willing to drive to rural addresses around 95634, whether you can work a short morning visit as well as a full day, and whether you have looked after someone with limited mobility. A Georgetown client may also want help getting to a doctor, so list your car and your driving record.

Types of caregiver jobs in Georgetown
Typical asks are bathing, dressing, cooking, medication reminders, laundry and errands, plus company for people who spend much of the day alone. Half of Georgetown residents aged 65 and up (50.9%, ACS) report a disability, so lifting, transfers and fall prevention come up often. For ZIP 95634, the state facility files show no home health agency, no home care organization and no licensed elderly care home, which means a newcomer without certificates usually starts with a private family or an IHSS client rather than an employer.

Caregiver pay in Georgetown: 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 (Sacramento, Placer, El Dorado and Yolo 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, Sacramento–Roseville–Folsom, CA metro (Sacramento, Placer, El Dorado and Yolo counties) | $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 |
| Nursing assistants, Sacramento–Roseville–Folsom, CA metro (Sacramento, Placer, El Dorado and Yolo counties) | $22.84 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.
About 20.9% of Georgetown's labor force was unemployed, on average, between August 2025 and August 2026, according to EDD estimates, against 4.9% for El Dorado County and 5.3% for California. Treat that number with care: EDD estimates small places like Georgetown from county totals, the labor force here is only about 800 people, and the monthly figures ran from 18.4% to 22.1%. The Census Bureau's survey-based ACS figure for 2020–2024 is 7.5%, with a margin of error of 6.3 points. Either way, regular IHSS hours at $17.40 (El Dorado County, January 1, 2026) are steady local income; see the El Dorado County IHSS guide. No local wage law covers unincorporated Georgetown (El Dorado County is absent from the UC Berkeley Labor Center's list of local ordinances), so the state's $16.90 is what private employers owe. In the four-county BLS metro, nursing assistants earned a $22.84 median in May 2025, well above the $16.50 aide median, which is the case for taking a CNA course.

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 Georgetown
Helping a Georgetown family directly with non-medical tasks needs no state license. Aides employed by a licensed agency need a Home Care Aide Registry listing, though no such agency has an office in 95634. IHSS cases are handled from the county office at 3057 Briw Road in Placerville, (530) 642-4800. To enroll as a provider, contact the IHSS Public Authority on (530) 621-6287; it runs the roughly 90-minute state video orientation by appointment at its Placerville office three times a month, so plan one trip into town. Aide jobs in nursing facilities call for CDPH nurse assistant certification instead. Paid caregivers are mandated reporters, and El Dorado County APS answers (530) 642-4800 around the clock. For the statewide rules, read California caregiver requirements.

Caregiver jobs in Georgetown: frequently asked questions
Is Georgetown a city?
No. El Dorado County governs Georgetown directly, and Census tables list it as a census-designated place. Water, recreation and schools come from separate districts such as the Georgetown Divide Public Utility District and Black Oak Mine Unified.
Who are the caregiving clients in Georgetown?
Mostly older residents at home. The Census estimates a median age of 63.8 and finds someone aged 65 or more in about three of every four Georgetown households, so companionship, personal care and help after a fall or hospital stay are the usual requests.
Are there care homes or agencies in Georgetown to apply to?
Not according to state licensing data. The CDSS file shows neither an elderly care home nor a home care organization for 95634, and the only CDPH-licensed facility is the Divide Wellness Center clinic on Highway 193. Private families and IHSS clients are the main sources of work.
Why does IHSS matter for Georgetown caregivers?
EDD's small-area estimate puts Georgetown's 12-month unemployment at about 20.9%, against 4.9% for the county; it is modeled from county data and approximate. IHSS pays El Dorado County providers $17.40 an hour for hours the county authorizes, which gives a predictable base.
Where is the nearest CNA class for someone in Georgetown?
Folsom Lake College teaches its 8-week Nurse Assistant course at the El Dorado Center in Placerville, with clinical shifts at two Placerville nursing facilities.
Where do Georgetown families post care requests?
On the Georgetown family page. Requests from 95634 show up in the job list above, and applying costs a caregiver nothing.
