Who is the employer. A family that hires you directly is your employer. The Maine minimum wage is $15.10 an hour (effective by October 2026 (U.S. Department of Labor state table)); the federal minimum of $7.25 and federal overtime rules apply to directly employed caregivers unless the work is exempt companionship under the FLSA. Source: US Department of Labor, direct care workers; the state source is listed at the end of this page.
BLS publishes caregiver wages for states and metro areas, not for towns, so the table uses the Maine statewide survey of employed home health and personal care aides: half earned more than $18.55 an hour in May 2025, and the middle half earned $17.59 to $20.99. A private rate is agreed with each family and may be higher or lower.
Rules
Caregiver requirements in Maine, applied to Old Orchard Beach
A family hiring you directly for companionship or personal care sets its own requirements; many ask for references, CPR and a background check. Agency work, especially with Medicare-certified home health agencies, usually asks for a home health aide or nursing assistant credential, and certified nursing assistants are listed on the Maine nurse aide registry. When minimum wage and overtime apply to a caregiver employed by a family, including the companionship and live-in exemptions (the subject of a July 2025 proposed rule), is set out on the U.S. Department of Labor's direct care page. To reach local aging services, adult protective services included, call the Eldercare Locator at 1-800-677-1116.
