Finding in-home caregiver jobs in Vacaville
In Vacaville the families who post are usually looking after an older parent or spouse in a single-family house, and they want someone reliable for the same mornings or afternoons each week. A posting carries the ZIP code (95687 or 95688), the hours and the tasks, and it shows in the list above as soon as the family publishes it. Because the city stretches along I-80, a request near Nut Tree Road can be a very different drive from one on the far side of town; check the distance on each posting rather than the city name. If you live in Dixon or Fairfield, or want to pick up clients toward Sacramento, raise your radius to see them.
Write your profile for an adult child who may be choosing from out of town. Say where you start from, whether you can drive the client in your car or theirs, and which conditions you have worked with: Parkinson's, stroke recovery, diabetes, early memory loss. One in ten civilian adults in Vacaville is a veteran (ACS 2020–2024), so experience with VA paperwork or rides to veterans' clinics is worth a line. Spanish is spoken at home by 13.8% of residents; list it if you speak it, along with any other language.

Types of caregiver jobs in Vacaville

Caregiver pay in Vacaville: how much caregivers make
Public figures first, then what they mean for private work. Statistics describe employed aides across the Vallejo, CA metro (Solano 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, Vallejo, CA metro (Solano County) | $16.50 median ($17.89 mean) | BLS OEWS, May 2025; 7,850 jobs; concentration 1.97× national |
| IHSS provider wage, Solano County | $18.10 | CDSS; effective January 1, 2026 |
| California minimum wage | $16.90 | effective January 1, 2026 |
| Nursing assistants, Vallejo, CA metro (Solano County) | $23.51 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.
No Vacaville ordinance appears in the UC Berkeley Labor Center inventory of local minimum wages, which leaves California's $16.90 as the legal minimum in the city. IHSS providers anywhere in Solano County are paid $18.10 an hour from January 1, 2026, and the BLS counts Solano County as the Vallejo metro, where home health and personal care aides had a median wage of $16.50 and a mean of $17.89 in May 2025 and nursing assistants a median of $23.51. Vacaville's median household income is $111,126 (ACS 2020–2024), so private families can often go beyond the IHSS rate for an experienced caregiver, especially for evenings, Sundays or live-in weeks. A personal attendant who works past nine hours in one day or 45 in one week is owed overtime; settle that rate in writing.
How to enroll as a provider in Solano County, with the office phone lines and orientation steps, is in the IHSS Solano 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 requirements in California, applied to Vacaville
Nothing in state law requires a license from a caregiver whom a Vacaville family hires directly for non-medical help. If a licensed home care organization employs you, it must place you on the CDSS Home Care Aide Registry; as an independent you can join it yourself for $35, using the independent aide PIN, which gives families something they can look up. IHSS work in Vacaville is administered from Fairfield: the Solano County IHSS Public Authority at 275 Beck Avenue (707-784-8200) takes new providers through account setup, a face-to-face orientation, fingerprint-based screening and enrollment forms, and keeps a separate registry for people who want referrals to new clients. Jobs as a nurse assistant at Kaiser, NorthBay or a nursing facility need CDPH certification. For more, read how to become an IHSS provider or the state requirements guide.
