How to find an in-home caregiver in Montebello
More than 40% of Montebello households include a person 65 or older, and with an average of 3.10 people per household, most of those parents live with relatives rather than alone. The usual request is for help on the days or hours when the family cannot be there: weekday mornings for bathing and breakfast, a few afternoons a week for company and a walk, or daily visits through the recovery weeks once Adventist Health White Memorial Montebello sends a parent home. City services can carry part of the load. The Montebello Senior Citizen Center at 115 S. Taylor Avenue runs exercise classes, dances and health screenings for people 50 and over, and its staff help seniors connect with housing, food, health care and transportation resources. Montebello Dial-A-Taxi takes residents over 62 to destinations in the city and to medical trips in its service area.
When you post, describe the care, the schedule, whether driving is involved and your ZIP. Over half of Montebello residents speak Spanish at home, so state it clearly when Spanish is what your parent needs. Profiles of caregivers around Montebello appear above as they register.

Choosing well
Evaluating caregivers in Montebello
CaregiverConnect does not check the people who apply, so verify what each one tells you. Registered home care aides have passed a state background check, and you can search the registry by name or number; independent caregivers are not required to join it. A certified nursing assistant has passed a state exam after a course such as the 160-hour program at Downey Adult School. IHSS providers have completed county enrollment. Hold the interview where your parent lives and notice how the applicant speaks with them, ask for two references and call both, get signed consent before any background screen, and begin with a paid trial shift while a relative is in the house.
Questions families here ask at interview
- Mom answers best in Spanish. Could you also call her clinic in Spanish when something comes up?

- Would you take her to the senior center on Taylor Avenue and stay for the exercise class?
- Are you comfortable booking and riding Dial-A-Taxi with her as an attendant?
- How do you help someone with memory loss who gets anxious in the afternoon?
- Which credential can I look up for you: registry, CNA or IHSS?
Schedules and cost
What in-home care costs in Montebello: hourly rates and schedules
Montebello families mostly post weekday mornings or afternoons around adult children's work shifts, a daily visit while someone recovers from a hospital stay, weekend cover so the main family carer can rest, and overnights for a parent who wanders or gets up at night.
| 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.
The state $16.90 applies in Montebello, which has no wage ordinance of its own. The regional aide median stood at $16.50 in May 2025, whereas California agencies charge families a $40.00 median per hour for non-medical care (CareScout 2025). A caregiver you hire directly names their own price, and Spanish fluency or dementia experience can raise it. Where a parent qualifies for Medi-Cal, IHSS may cover part of the week at $19.64 an hour and can pay a relative. Book shifts past nine hours, or weeks past 45, and domestic worker overtime is owed.
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.
