Finding in-home caregiver jobs in Marina
The City of Marina has no hospital and no nursing home of its own. CDPH's facility listing, dated October 16, 2026, shows no general acute hospital, skilled nursing facility, home health agency or hospice at a Marina address. What the city does have is a cluster of outpatient care: the Major General William H. Gourley VA-DoD Outpatient Clinic at 201 9th Street, the Monterey County Clinic at Marina on De Forest Road, Montage Medical Group and MoGo Urgent Care on 2nd Avenue, and Marina Dialysis at 930 2nd Avenue, a chronic dialysis clinic with a CDPH capacity of 24. Expect some clients to need a ride to one of those appointments and help at home afterwards.
Inside the city, the state licensing files list three elder care homes (RCFEs) with six licensed beds apiece, plus one licensed home care organization, Ambassadors Providing Amazing Care, Inc., on Vista del Camino Road. Ask the small homes whether they have shifts open; they are the employers closest to home. For private work, put 93933 in your profile and name the streets or neighborhoods you can reach on foot or by bus. Mention veterans if you have cared for one: in ACS 2020–2024, 7.0% of Marina's civilian adults are veterans.
Language helps too. Some 37.1% of Marina residents five and older told the census they speak something other than English in the household, most often Spanish (19.6%) or an Asian or Pacific Islander language (10.8%). Filipino (5.2%), Korean (2.2%) and Vietnamese (2.1%) residents are each counted separately in the same survey. List each language you could use with a client.

Caregiver pay in Marina: how much caregivers make
Public figures first, then what they mean for private work. Statistics describe employed aides across the Salinas, CA metro (Monterey 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, Salinas, CA metro (Monterey County) | $16.92 median ($17.53 mean) | BLS OEWS, survey wages aged to Q1 2026 by California EDD; 6,740 jobs |
| IHSS provider wage, Monterey County | $21.04 | CDSS; effective July 1, 2026 |
| California minimum wage | $16.90 | effective January 1, 2026 |
| Nursing assistants, Salinas, CA metro (Monterey County) | $24.10 median | BLS OEWS, survey wages aged to Q1 2026 by California EDD (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 4.1% of Marina's labor force was unemployed, on average, between August 2025 and August 2026, according to EDD estimates, well under Monterey County's 7.4% and California's 5.3%. Month to month it ranged from 3.3% to 5.4%, across an average labor force of 13,442. For a caregiver, the pay figures matter more. IHSS pays $21.04 an hour for a client anywhere in Monterey County, so a Marina client earns you the same rate as one in Salinas; our Monterey County IHSS guide has the enrollment steps.
The EDD wage survey puts the typical aide in the Salinas metro at $16.92, two cents above the state floor, with nursing assistants at $24.10. With no Marina wage ordinance in the Labor Center's inventory, the lowest lawful hourly pay here is the state's $16.90. ACS puts Marina's median household income at $95,955 and median gross rent at $2,101, and 57% of households rent. Quote a private rate that covers your costs, and ask more for nights, lifting or dementia care.
How to enroll as a provider in Monterey County, with the office phone lines and orientation steps, is in the IHSS Monterey 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 Marina
Working straight for a Marina household on non-medical tasks needs no state credential. Agencies are another matter: the home care organization on Vista del Camino Road, like every licensed agency, may only place aides it has listed with California's Home Care Aide Registry, for a $35 fee. To be paid through IHSS, enroll with Monterey County first; once you are an active provider, the county's Public Authority Registry asks for an online application, two professional references and an interview with a social worker before it refers clients. Nursing home and hospital jobs require CDPH nursing assistant certification. Under Welfare and Institutions Code §15630 you are a mandated reporter, so any sign that a Marina client is being abused or neglected goes to the authorities. Full rules: California caregiver requirements.
