How to find an in-home caregiver in Burbank
Most Burbank families who hire privately are filling gaps around city and county services. Burbank Nutrition Services delivers meals at home, the Joslyn Adult Center on West Olive Avenue and the Tuttle Senior Center on North Ontario Street run daytime activities, and the BurbankBus Senior and Disabled service gives residents 60 and older or with disabilities curb-to-curb rides. In-Home Supportive Services, run by Los Angeles County, covers hours the county authorizes for a relative on Medi-Cal, and DPSS keeps an IHSS district office in Burbank. What remains, such as evenings, weekends, overnights and the weeks after a stay at Providence Saint Joseph, is where a private caregiver comes in.
Write a posting that says what the day looks like: the tasks, the hours, whether driving is involved, and your ZIP code. Caregivers who cover Burbank can then apply, and the profiles shown above update as people nearby register. Language is worth stating. ACS figures show 41.5% of Burbank residents over the age of four talk in a language besides English at home, and fewer than half of them use Spanish, so if your mother is most at ease in Armenian, Farsi, Korean or Tagalog, say so in the first sentence.

Choosing well
Evaluating caregivers in Burbank
Verify every claim yourself. Look the applicant up on the Home Care Aide Registry, which only lists people the state has cleared; it is compulsory for agency staff and a choice for independents. A certified nursing assistant passed a state competency exam after a course such as the one Burbank Adult School lists. An IHSS provider has completed enrollment with Los Angeles County. Treat each of these as a starting point rather than a reference. Meet each applicant at home with your relative present, phone at least two previous families, ask for written consent to a background screen you pay for, and arrange one paid trial shift. We do no vetting at CaregiverConnect; the Verified badge reflects one uploaded document we reviewed, nothing more.
Questions families here ask at interview
- Describe a client you supported after Providence Saint Joseph sent them home. What did that first week involve?
- Can you get my mother to the Joslyn Adult Center or Tuttle Senior Center and back on the days she goes?
- Will you drive, or would you use the BurbankBus senior vans with her?
- Apart from English, what languages could you speak with her, and have you worked in Armenian or Iranian households?
- Is your name on the state aide registry, and do you hold a CNA certificate or IHSS provider number?
- My father has dementia and sometimes tries to go out alone at night. How would you handle that?
- Do you charge a different rate for overnights and holidays than for daytime hours?
Schedules and cost
What in-home care costs in Burbank: hourly rates and schedules
Burbank postings tend to be weekday shifts of four to six hours for a mother or father who lives alone, evening help for a couple where one spouse is the main caregiver, short runs of overnights after surgery, and occasional live-in roles in larger family homes. Families who use home-delivered meals or a senior center day usually schedule the caregiver around those hours.
| Reference point | Hourly | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Employed aides, Los Angeles–Long Beach–Anaheim metro (Los Angeles and Orange counties) | $16.50 median | BLS OEWS, May 2025 |
| IHSS provider wage, Los Angeles County | $19.64 | CDSS; effective January 1, 2026 |
| California minimum wage | $16.90 | effective January 1, 2026 |
| Agency non-medical home care, California median (CareScout 2025) | $40.00 | CareScout Cost of Care Survey 2025 |
Who is the employer. When you hire a caregiver directly, you are a household 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.
Burbank has not adopted its own minimum wage, which leaves $16.90, the state figure, as the lowest legal hourly pay for caregiving in the city, and the metro aide median was $16.50 in May 2025. In practice independent caregivers here usually quote more than the county's $19.64 IHSS rate but less than the $40 agency figure, adding a premium for nights, dementia care, driving and a shared language. The Domestic Worker Bill of Rights makes you liable for time-and-a-half once a personal attendant works more than nine hours in one day or more than 45 in one week, and household payroll taxes apply once wages pass the federal threshold.
No agency tracks private rates. A caregiver you hire directly will usually expect more than the employed-aide median and less than an agency rate; every caregiver on this site lists an hourly rate on their profile, and the hiring guide covers taxes and overtime.

Questions
Hiring a caregiver in Burbank: frequently asked questions
What does a private caregiver cost in Burbank?

Can my father get rides from the city?
If he lives in Burbank and is 60 or older, or has a disability, he can use BurbankBus Senior and Disabled Transit for curb-to-curb trips. A caregiver can plan appointments around it.
Are there meals delivered to older residents in Burbank?
Yes. Burbank Nutrition Services runs a home-delivered meal program for older adults; the Joslyn Adult Center, (818) 238-5353, can explain how to sign up.
Is there a way for me to be paid for caring for my mother in Burbank?
Through IHSS, if she has Medi-Cal and the county authorizes hours. She becomes your employer on paper, while the county issues your paychecks; apply on (888) 944-4477.
How do I find an IHSS provider if no one in the family can do it?
Ask PASC for a referral from its Homecare Registry, which is free for IHSS recipients; you still interview and choose the person.
Does CaregiverConnect screen the caregivers?
It does not. Any background screening is yours to arrange, along with a registry search and reference calls, before a Burbank caregiver starts.
