Finding in-home caregiver jobs in Pollock Pines
Start with what is not here. The state health department's facility list (data dated October 16, 2026) and the CDSS community care files from May 2025 list nothing operating at a Pollock Pines address: no hospice, no skilled nursing facility, no home health agency, no residential care for the elderly, and no currently licensed home care organization; the one home care organization on file for the town closed in 2022. Facility and agency jobs therefore mean a commute, and the Placerville page covers the employers there. Inside the census-designated place, the work is one-to-one: a household hiring you directly, or an IHSS recipient choosing you as provider.
Clients are here all the same. In the ACS 2020–2024 estimates, 873 of the CDP's 2,709 households (32.2%) include someone 65 or older, and in 239 a single householder aged 65-plus lives by themselves (146 women, 93 men). Of the noninstitutionalized seniors aged 65-plus, 27.9% report a disability. In your profile, put 95726 as your ZIP, say whether you live in town or would drive up, and whether you have a car for taking a client down to Placerville appointments, because 7.3% of local households have no vehicle at all.

Types of caregiver jobs in Pollock Pines
Expect visits built around an older person staying in their own home: help with a shower and dressing, a cooked meal, medication reminders, laundry, shopping and a drive to the doctor. Some families will want a weekday noon run to the county's senior lunch at the Pollock Pines Community Center on Sanders Drive. One adult in ten here (10.2%) is a veteran, so experience with VA paperwork or appointments can be worth a line in your profile. Newcomers usually start with companionship, errands and meals.

Caregiver pay in Pollock Pines: 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 (Sacramento, Placer, El Dorado and Yolo 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, Sacramento–Roseville–Folsom, CA metro (Sacramento, Placer, El Dorado and Yolo counties) | $16.50 median ($17.20 mean) | BLS OEWS, May 2025; 60,350 jobs; concentration 2.02× national |
| IHSS provider wage, El Dorado County | $17.40 | 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.
About 5.6% of Pollock Pines' labor force was unemployed, on average, between August 2025 and August 2026, according to EDD estimates. That is above the 5.3% statewide average for those months and above El Dorado County's 4.9%. EDD builds its numbers for census-designated places out of county totals, so treat this one, drawn from a labor force of about 2,800 with monthly readings between 4.8% and 5.9%, as approximate. The steadier figure for care work is the IHSS wage, $17.40 an hour from the first day of 2026, fixed by the client's county of residence; enrollment is covered in the El Dorado County IHSS guide.
BLS reports aide pay for the four-county Sacramento metro as a whole ($16.50 median, $17.20 mean in May 2025), not for the hill communities. UC Berkeley's Labor Center inventory (July 2026) lists no ordinance for El Dorado County's unincorporated areas, so a private Pollock Pines employer owes at least the state's $16.90. A household employing you as a personal attendant owes time-and-a-half for a tenth hour in a day and for hour 46 onward in a week; agree mileage in writing before the first drive.
How to enroll as a provider in El Dorado County, with the office phone lines and orientation steps, is in the IHSS El Dorado 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 jobs in Pollock Pines: frequently asked questions
Is unemployment high in Pollock Pines?
EDD's estimate averages about 5.6% for August 2025 to August 2026, which is above California's 5.3% and El Dorado County's 4.9%. Because EDD derives figures for unincorporated places from county data, and the local labor force is only about 2,800, treat it as approximate.
Does Pollock Pines have a nursing home or a care agency?
None at a Pollock Pines address in the current state files: no hospice, home health agency, skilled nursing facility, elder care home or licensed home care organization. Paid care inside the community is private or IHSS work in clients' homes.
What hourly rate does IHSS pay in Pollock Pines?
$17.40 an hour, El Dorado County's rate in the CDSS table from January 1, 2026. A client living in another county, Amador for example, is paid for at that county's IHSS rate instead.
Where is the closest CNA course?
Folsom Lake College's eight-week NURSE 100 course lists three lab sites, one of them the El Dorado Center in Placerville. The next start date is shown as to be determined, so check the college page before you plan around it.
Does a private Pollock Pines family have to pay more than the state minimum?
No local law requires it. Berkeley's Labor Center lists no ordinance for unincorporated El Dorado County, so $16.90 is the legal floor; your rate above it is between you and the family.
How do Pollock Pines families find me here?
They post on the Pollock Pines family page, and the postings above update as households publish them. Building a profile costs nothing, and families' payments reach you without a commission taken.
