Finding in-home caregiver jobs in Inglewood
Inglewood's population stood at 105,986 on the first of January 2026, per the state Department of Finance. ACS 2020–2024 shows 10,903 households with at least one person 65 or older, about 29% of all households, and 3,094 older residents living alone. Black and Latino residents together make up most of the city: 38.5% of residents are Black and 48.6% Hispanic or Latino. Care requests from these households tend to be practical and family-arranged, often a grandmother who needs help bathing and getting to the doctor while her children are at work, or a husband home from Centinela Hospital who needs someone for the first weeks. Requests posted with an Inglewood ZIP code, 90301 to 90305, appear above as soon as the family publishes.
Spanish is the language that most often decides a hire here. Spanish is the home language of 43.2% of Inglewood residents aged five or over, and close to half of that group reports speaking English less than very well; a bilingual caregiver therefore has a real advantage with older clients. Lead your profile with it. Working residents average 30.5 minutes to get to work, and 5.5% of working residents use public transit, so families will want to know if you own a car and how many miles you will cover.

Caregiver pay in Inglewood: how much caregivers make
Public figures first, then what they mean for private work. Statistics describe employed aides across the Los Angeles–Long Beach–Anaheim, CA metro (Los Angeles and Orange 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, Los Angeles–Long Beach–Anaheim, CA metro (Los Angeles and Orange counties) | $16.50 median ($17.25 mean) | BLS OEWS, May 2025; 385,530 jobs; concentration 2.22× national |
| IHSS provider wage, Los Angeles County | $19.64 | CDSS; effective January 1, 2026 |
| California minimum wage | $16.90 | effective January 1, 2026 |
| Nursing assistants, Los Angeles–Long Beach–Anaheim, CA metro (Los Angeles and Orange counties) | $22.78 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.
No Inglewood rate appears in the Labor Center inventory at UC Berkeley, which means work inside city limits is governed by the $16.90 state minimum. The picture changes a few streets away: the City of Los Angeles requires $18.42 and unincorporated county areas $18.47 from July 1, 2026, so check where a client actually lives before you agree a rate. The metro median for aides, $16.50 in May 2025, sits below every one of those figures. IHSS pays $19.64 an hour in Los Angeles County, and with Inglewood's median household income at $72,750, many families here will look at IHSS before paying privately. Bilingual caregivers and those willing to do nights can usually ask more than the median.
How to enroll as a provider in Los Angeles County, with the office phone lines and orientation steps, is in the IHSS Los Angeles 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.
