Finding in-home caregiver jobs in San Andreas
San Andreas is a census-designated place of 2,979 people (ACS 2020–2024) in Calaveras County, with no city government. For a caregiver, though, it is where most of the county's care system sits. Mark Twain Medical Center is at 768 Mountain Ranch Road. Number 900 on the same road is Golden San Andreas Care Center, which is the sole skilled nursing facility in Calaveras. Family Medical Center, a Mark Twain clinic, is at 702 Mountain Ranch Road, and MACT runs a medical clinic and a dental clinic at 1113 Highway 49. IHSS and Adult Protective Services are run by Health and Human Services from 509 East St. Charles Street, and the IHSS Public Authority works out of the CalWORKs building there.
That concentration shapes the work. Some clients will be coming home from the hospital or the nursing home and need someone for the first weeks. Others already have IHSS hours and need a provider who can get to Mountain Ranch Road for appointments. When you build your profile, use 95249 as your base ZIP, list the communities you will drive to, and say plainly whether you can take a client to the hospital, the clinics or the county offices. If you live in town, say so first.

Types of caregiver jobs in San Andreas
San Andreas has more older residents than the county as a whole. In ACS 2020–2024, 55.4% of households include someone 65 or older, 14.9% of residents are 75 to 84, and 39.9% of older residents live with a disability. That points to requests for help with bathing, dressing and medications for people who live alone or with an older spouse, rides to Mark Twain and Family Medical Center, and time off for the spouse who carries most of the load. If you are new to care work, meal preparation, housekeeping and accompanying clients to appointments are good first jobs.

Caregiver pay in San Andreas: how much caregivers make
Public figures first, then what they mean for private work. Statistics describe employed aides across the Eastern Sierra-Mother Lode Region of California nonmetropolitan area (includes Calaveras County); 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, Eastern Sierra-Mother Lode Region of California nonmetropolitan area (includes Calaveras County) | $16.52 median ($17.48 mean) | BLS OEWS, May 2025; 2,220 jobs; concentration 1.27× national |
| IHSS provider wage, Calaveras County | $17.89 | CDSS; effective January 1, 2026 |
| California minimum wage | $16.90 | effective January 1, 2026 |
| Nursing assistants, Eastern Sierra-Mother Lode Region of California nonmetropolitan area (includes Calaveras County) | $22.79 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.
San Andreas wages fall under the BLS nonmetro area that covers Calaveras and six neighboring counties, where aides earned a $16.52 median in May 2025. About 9.0% of San Andreas's labor force was unemployed, on average, between August 2025 and August 2026, according to EDD estimates. That compares with 6.2% for Calaveras County and 5.3% for California. EDD estimates small places like San Andreas from county totals, so the town figure is approximate. Monthly estimates ran from 7.7% to 9.8%. In a labor force of about 919 people, steady care work close to home matters. IHSS pays $17.89 an hour for authorized hours when a relative or neighbor qualifies; the Calaveras County IHSS guide covers enrollment. UC Berkeley's inventory shows no San Andreas wage ordinance, which leaves $16.90, the state minimum, as the floor for private jobs.
How to enroll as a provider in Calaveras County, with the office phone lines and orientation steps, is in the IHSS Calaveras 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.
