Finding in-home caregiver jobs in Montebello
The state's E-1 estimate puts Montebello's population at 62,994 as of January 1, 2026. What sets it apart for a caregiver is how many homes include an older person: ACS 2020–2024 finds someone 65 or over in 7,940 of its 19,683 households, 40.3%. Households average 3.10 people, so in many of these homes a son, daughter or grandchild is likely helping already, and the job is to cover the hours they cannot, or the tasks they are not trained for. The city also has 1,866 residents aged 85 and above (3.1%), and 1,972 people 65 and over who live alone. Requests with the 90640 ZIP are listed above as families post them.
Montebello is a Spanish-first city for many: 55.9% of residents aged five and up use it at home, and 11,951 of them describe their English as below very well. If you can chat, read a prescription label and phone a clinic in Spanish, a Montebello family will notice. About three quarters of residents are Hispanic or Latino (76.3%), and 36.0% were born outside the United States, two thirds of them in Latin America.

Caregiver pay in Montebello: 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 |
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.
Since Montebello has not adopted its own wage floor (UC Berkeley's Labor Center lists no ordinance for it), $16.90 under state law is the minimum in town. The two-county Los Angeles metro paid its aides a $16.50 median as of May 2025 (BLS). Private work in Montebello is negotiated family by family, and fluent Spanish, dementia experience and safe transfer technique are the skills that support a better rate. The county IHSS wage is $19.64; you can hold IHSS hours for one client and private hours for another.
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.
Caregiver requirements in California, applied to Montebello
For private, non-medical work in a Montebello home, California does not require a license. Registry enrollment is your choice and lets families confirm who you are; agencies licensed to place home care aides must register you first. When the client is on IHSS, the client hires and directs you and Los Angeles County pays, with enrollment and provider orientation handled through PASC (877-565-4477). Certification as a nurse assistant from CDPH is needed for nursing tasks and for facility jobs. Paid caregivers are mandated reporters, so phone Los Angeles County APS on (877) 477-3646 whenever you believe an elder or dependent adult is being hurt or neglected. For the details, read our state requirements page, and the county IHSS guide explains enrollment.
