Finding in-home caregiver jobs in Vallejo
Vallejo has two general hospitals, Kaiser Foundation Hospital and Rehab Center on Sereno Drive and Sutter Solano Medical Center on Hospital Drive, and a patient who goes home from either one may need a few weeks of help with washing, cooking and rides back to the clinic. Other requests come from long-term clients: the ACS counts 4,476 Vallejo households made up of someone 65 or older living alone. Families post with ZIP codes 94589, 94590 and 94591, and those requests show up above.
Spell out in your profile how you get around. In 6.7% of Vallejo households nobody owns a car, and a client without one may need a caregiver who can drive, or who knows the SolTrans routes from the Vallejo Transit Center on Sacramento Street. If you speak another language, list it in the first line. More Vallejo residents speak another language at home than in the county overall: 39.6% of those five and older, against 31.5% countywide; 19.9% speak Spanish, 22.7% of residents identify as Asian alone, and 28.7% were born in another country (ACS 2020–2024).

Types of caregiver jobs in Vallejo

Without paid experience, offer companionship, errands, cooking and light housekeeping first. If you want clinical training without leaving the city, Vallejo Adult School runs short healthcare courses, and Solano Community College's CNA and home health aide courses are based at its Fairfield campus.

Caregiver pay in Vallejo: 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.
Vallejo gives its name to the BLS metro area, which covers all of Solano County. The May 2025 survey found 7,850 aides working in the metro, paid a $16.50 median and a $17.89 average; that survey predates the 2026 state minimum, so read the median as a floor from last year. Berkeley's Labor Center lists no Vallejo wage ordinance, so the California rate of $16.90 governs pay in the city. For private clients, use Solano IHSS as your benchmark: $18.10 an hour since January 1, 2026, or $20.10 for emergency backup assignments taken through the county registry. Nursing assistants in the metro earned a $23.51 median, so certification is the clearest way to raise your rate.
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 Vallejo
No license is needed to work directly for a Vallejo household on non-medical tasks. With an employer that is a licensed home care agency, the agency has to register its aides with the state ($35), and independents can register by choice. IHSS enrollment for Vallejo providers is handled in Fairfield, at the county offices on Beck Avenue: online registration, an in-person orientation, a background check and the enrollment documents; call 707-784-8753 with questions. The Public Authority registry, 707-784-8200, asks for two work references and a car. Skilled nursing and hospital jobs, including at the two Vallejo hospitals, need CDPH nursing assistant certification. As a caregiver, the law makes you a mandated reporter; call Solano APS on 707-784-8259, extension 2, or 800-850-0012 after hours. The Solano IHSS guide and the statewide rules guide go step by step.

Caregiver jobs in Vallejo: frequently asked questions
Does Vallejo have its own minimum wage?
No. Vallejo has not passed one, judging by the Berkeley Labor Center tracker, so 2026 pay in the city starts at the $16.90 California minimum.
How much do IHSS providers in Vallejo earn?
The Solano County rate, $18.10 an hour from January 1, 2026. Providers who sign up as emergency backups through the registry earn $20.10 an hour on those assignments.
Do I have to go to Fairfield to become an IHSS provider?

Can I train for healthcare work in Vallejo itself?
Yes, at Vallejo Adult School on Del Sur Street, which lists medical assistant, phlebotomy, EKG and pharmacy technician courses. Its list does not include a CNA course; for that, look at Solano Community College's NURS 103.
