Finding in-home caregiver jobs in Running Springs
There is no town hall in Running Springs. Federal surveys count it as a census-designated place, San Bernardino County governs it, and local parks and the community center belong to the Rim of the World Recreation and Park District. What matters for job hunting is the licensing record: the CDPH facility file and the CDSS community care files list no hospital, nursing home, hospice, home health agency, assisted living home or home care organization in 92382, and the HRSA health center list shows no clinic site either. If you want caregiving work here, it comes from a household that hires you directly or from an IHSS client who names you as provider.
ACS 2020–2024 counts 844 people aged 65 or over (17.2%, with a wide margin), and 587 households, close to three in ten, include at least one of them. About 200 older residents live alone, and 244 report a disability. The median age is 37.9. In your profile, name the streets or stops within reach, state whether you have a car, and list your free days: with no facility shifts in town, families compare caregivers on reliability and distance first.

Types of caregiver jobs
Types of caregiver jobs in Running Springs
Expect requests for a few hours at a time: help getting up and dressed, a shower with someone standby, meals, laundry, a medication reminder, a ride to the pharmacy or the branch library. Families also ask for someone to sit with a parent so a spouse can get out, or to look in on a relative whose grown children live elsewhere. A first job without experience is usually companionship, shopping and housekeeping for one older adult; personal care comes once a family trusts you.

Pay
Caregiver pay in Running Springs: how much caregivers make
Public figures first, then what they mean for private work. Statistics describe employed aides across the Riverside–San Bernardino–Ontario, CA metro (Riverside and San Bernardino 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, Riverside–San Bernardino–Ontario, CA metro (Riverside and San Bernardino counties) | $16.50 median ($17.03 mean) | BLS OEWS, May 2025; 102,760 jobs; concentration 2.16× national |
| IHSS provider wage, San Bernardino County | $19.00 | CDSS; effective January 1, 2026 |
| California minimum wage | $16.90 | effective January 1, 2026 |
| Nursing assistants, Riverside–San Bernardino–Ontario, CA metro (Riverside and San Bernardino counties) | $22.32 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.
Riverside–San Bernardino–Ontario MSA (Riverside and San Bernardino counties) projection: 94,950 aide jobs in 2023 to 126,020 in 2033 (+32.7%), about 191,990 openings over the decade including replacements (California EDD, 2023–2033 projections published April 2026). Openings are not the same as net new jobs.
About 5.5% of Running Springs's labor force was unemployed, on average, between August 2025 and August 2026, according to EDD estimates. This places Running Springs above California's 5.3% average and a little above San Bernardino County's 5.3%. The labor force behind the estimate is only about 2,260 people, monthly figures ranged from 4.7% to 6.2%, and EDD derives census-designated-place numbers from county data, so treat it as a rough figure. For pay, the firm local benchmark is IHSS: a Running Springs client is a San Bernardino County client, and the county pays its providers $19.00 an hour (see our San Bernardino County IHSS guide). Checked against the UC Berkeley Labor Center list, neither the county nor its unincorporated territory has a wage ordinance; private clients here owe at least California's $16.90. Agree on gas money or paid drive time up front, because most clients will need rides.
How to enroll as a provider in San Bernardino County, with the office phone lines and orientation steps, is in the IHSS San Bernardino 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 Running Springs
Being unincorporated does not change state law here. A family paying you for non-medical help at home needs no license from you. Licensed home care organizations may send out only aides on the state registry CDSS keeps for that work, and none of those organizations is licensed in 92382, so agency work means an employer based outside Running Springs. CDPH certification (CNA or HHA) is for jobs in hospitals, skilled nursing units and home health agencies, such as the 20-bed skilled nursing unit CDPH lists at Mountains Community Hospital on Hospital Road. For IHSS, the client applies by phone on (877) 800-4544 (Central Intake), and you enroll as a provider with the county's IHSS Public Authority on (866) 985-6322, then complete the state orientation. Our California requirements guide covers the rest.

Are there agencies or care homes hiring in Running Springs?
Not with a 92382 address. CDPH and CDSS records place no nursing home, home health agency, care home or licensed agency in that ZIP, so local work is private or through IHSS.

Partly. Route 4 is free and runs Tuesday to Saturday, about five times a day each way, and Route 5 goes down to San Bernardino three days a week for $5.00. For regular shifts a car is far more practical.
