Finding in-home caregiver jobs in Paramount
Start with the state's own lists. The CDPH facility file of October 16, 2026 shows five home health agencies with Paramount addresses, every one of them on Paramount Boulevard or Lakewood Boulevard: Excell Home Care, Steaman Home Health, Family First Home Healthcare, Reliance Home Health Services and SalCare Home Health Services. The same file lists Kindred Hospital Paramount on Colorado Avenue, a general acute care hospital licensed for 183 beds, plus three skilled nursing facilities. On the non-medical side, CDSS licenses SalCare Private Duty as a home care organization, and its file shows four adult day sites in the city, three run by C-H Adult Day Center Program and one by Easterseals. Agency shifts are a realistic way to build the references private families ask for.
For private clients, language and transit are the deciding details. In ACS 2020–2024, Spanish is the household language for 64.0% of Paramount residents aged five or over, 24.9% speak it with limited English, 9.5% of residents are Black, and 2.4% use Tagalog or another Asian or Pacific Islander tongue at home. Long Beach Transit runs the city's fixed routes, and its trip planners take calls in English, Spanish and Tagalog. If you ride the bus, list the routes you use; if you drive, say how far. Fresh family postings land above whenever a Paramount household publishes one.

Types of caregiver jobs
Types of caregiver jobs in Paramount
Paramount requests tend to sit between the clinical and the everyday: cover between home health nurse visits, getting a parent ready for a day at C-H or Easterseals, an escort to dialysis on Alondra Boulevard or Lakewood Boulevard, or nights after a long stay at Kindred or a post-acute bed at Meadow Creek. Applicants without experience can start with companionship, errands and meals, and the city's taxi and ride-share program for older residents makes short trips with a client simple.

Pay
Caregiver pay in Paramount: 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 MSA (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 MSA (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 MSA (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.
About 5.4% of Paramount's labor force was unemployed, on average, between August 2025 and August 2026, according to EDD estimates. Los Angeles County's figure for the same months is identical, 5.4%, and California's is 5.3%, so Paramount sits only slightly above the state. Its labor force is about 25,800 people. Steady paid hours still help, and IHSS pays a Los Angeles County provider $19.64 for each hour the county approves; provider sign-up is laid out in the IHSS guide for Los Angeles County.
Since no Paramount wage law appears in UC Berkeley's local ordinance inventory, private caregiving in the city starts at the state's $16.90. The $18.47 rate that the county set from July 1, 2026 is for unincorporated territory and does not cover this incorporated city. DIR also notes that certain health care workers have a separate, higher minimum, which is worth asking about if you take a job at Kindred or one of the nursing homes. The ACS median household income is $75,250 and median gross rent $1,875. Hired straight by a household, you earn overtime for a tenth hour in any day, and again once the week's total tops 45.
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.
Rules
Caregiver requirements in California, applied to Paramount
California's rules are the whole story in Paramount; the city adds none. No license is required for personal care you do as a family's own employee. SalCare Private Duty and any other home care organization can place you only once you appear on the Home Care Aide Registry. Kindred Hospital, Meadow Creek Post-Acute, Paramount Convalescent Hospital and La Paz Geropsychiatric Center hire nursing assistants who hold CDPH certification, and the home health agencies work under CDPH licenses of their own. To become a paid IHSS provider, go through the county DPSS enrollment and orientation. For fingerprints, the one Paramount Live Scan site on the Attorney General's county list is on Somerset Boulevard. If a Paramount client shows signs of abuse, state law obliges you to report it. More detail: the Los Angeles County page and the requirements guide.

Questions
Caregiver jobs in Paramount: frequently asked questions
Which home health agencies are based in Paramount?
CDPH's October 2026 file has five: Excell Home Care, Steaman Home Health, Family First Home Healthcare, Reliance Home Health Services and SalCare Home Health Services. Ask each one which aide roles it fills and what certificate it wants.
Can I do non-medical agency work in Paramount?
SalCare Private Duty, on Lakewood Boulevard, is licensed by CDSS as a home care organization. Agencies of that type may send out only aides whose names are on the CDSS aide registry, so register before applying.
What do IHSS providers earn for Paramount clients?
$19.64 per authorized hour, Los Angeles County's rate from the start of 2026. The county where the client lives decides the wage, so a Paramount client and one in Compton or Bellflower bring the same rate.
Is Paramount's minimum wage higher than the state's?
No. Paramount has no local ordinance, so $16.90 applies to private household jobs. The county's unincorporated-area figure of $18.47 is not in force within the city.
How do caregivers without a car get around Paramount?
Long Beach Transit routes 21A/21B, 22 and 71 cover the city for $1.25 a ride. A client who is 55-plus or disabled can register for the city's taxi and ride-share program, and every ride to the senior center is free.
Where is the nearest CNA class to Paramount?
Compton College offers an eight-week noncredit nurse assistant course twice each spring; the checklist for the February 2027 session is due November 8, 2026. Check its page for the current application steps.
How do Paramount families find me?
Through the Paramount family page, where they post requests that are also shown here. Profiles cost caregivers nothing, and every dollar a family agrees to pay stays with you.
