Finding in-home caregiver jobs in Placer County
Placer County splits into two very different job markets. The western slope holds most of the 434,823 residents in the state's January 2026 estimate: the suburban cities of Roseville, Rocklin and Lincoln, the town of Loomis and Granite Bay, then the foothill belt along Interstate 80 through Newcastle, Penryn, Auburn, Foresthill and Colfax. East of the Sierra crest, the lake towns of Tahoe City and Kings Beach are a separate world in winter, served by their own buses and their own senior meal provider. Pick a side before you build a profile; a daily commute over Donner Summit is not realistic.
Distance matters here more than in a dense metro. In the ACS 2020–2024, 67.5% of county workers drove alone, half of one percent rode transit and the average trip to work took 27.4 minutes. Open your profile with your home town, the farthest place you are willing to commute to, and whether clients can ride in your car. If you speak a second language, say so: 16.6% of Placer residents aged five or more speak something besides English in the home, divided among Spanish (6.2%), other Indo-European languages (5.3%) and Asian and Pacific Island languages (4.1%).

Types of caregiver jobs in Placer County
The county IHSS page lists the tasks it pays for, and private households in Placer ask for the same mix: meal preparation, housecleaning, laundry, grocery runs, rides to medical appointments, bathing and grooming, and protective supervision for someone with dementia. Foothill and lake households tend to want longer shifts. Applicants without paid experience tend to start with companionship, errands and meals.
- Senior caregiving: day-to-day help so an older adult can stay at home.
- Personal care: bathing, dressing, grooming, transfers.
- Companion care: company, errands, appointments, light help.
- Dementia care: routine-based support for memory loss.
- Respite care: cover so a family caregiver can rest or work.
- Live-in: room and board as part of the arrangement.
- Overnight: supervision through the night.
- Part-time and full-time: set by day and time block on your profile.
Caregiver pay in Placer County: how much caregivers make
Public figures first, then what they mean for private work. Statistics describe employed aides across the Sacramento–Roseville–Folsom, CA metro (Placer, Sacramento, El Dorado, Yolo); 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, Sacramento–Roseville–Folsom, CA metro (Placer, Sacramento, El Dorado, Yolo) | $16.50 median ($17.20 mean) | BLS OEWS, May 2025; 60,350 jobs; concentration 2.02× national |
| IHSS provider wage, Placer County | $19.38 | CDSS; effective September 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.
Placer shares a BLS wage area with Sacramento, El Dorado and Yolo counties. In May 2025 that metro counted 60,350 home health and personal care aides, with half earning less than $16.50 an hour and an average of $17.20; the location quotient of 2.02 means aide jobs make up about twice the share of local employment they do nationally. The county IHSS rate moved to $19.38 on September 1, 2026, which is $2.88 above that median and higher than neighboring Sacramento County ($19.15). UC Berkeley's tracker of city wage ordinances has no Placer entries, which leaves the state floor of $16.90 applies in Roseville, Rocklin, Lincoln, Auburn and the unincorporated areas. When a household asks your hourly rate for hands-on care, the IHSS number is a fair anchor.

Caregiver jobs in Placer County: frequently asked questions
What is the IHSS pay rate in Placer County?
$19.38 an hour. CDSS lists that Placer rate as effective from September 1, 2026. It applies countywide.
What is the IHSS Placer County phone number?
The IHSS and Public Authority main line is 530-889-7115. For payroll call 530-889-7135; for provider enrollment, 916-787-8859; for the registry, 916-787-8836. New applications for services go through adult intake, 916-787-8860.

Are there private caregiver jobs in the foothills and at Tahoe, or only in Roseville?
Families from any Placer ZIP code can post, and their requests appear in the list above. Expect fewer, longer shifts in the foothill and lake towns, and mention in your profile whether you can drive mountain roads in winter.
How do I get into the Sierra College CNA class?
Apply during the window (October for spring, April for fall), then attend the orientation on the Rocklin campus; students are chosen at random from those who did both. You must be at least 16, and the college runs fingerprinting on campus.
Do Roseville, Rocklin or Auburn set their own minimum wage?
Not as of October 2026. The Berkeley Labor Center tracks every California city with its own wage law and lists none in Placer, so the California rate of $16.90 applies countywide.
Where do Placer County families post in-home caregiver jobs?
On the Placer County family page or a city page such as Auburn. Requests from both show in the list on this page.
