Caregivers — Full Days Close to Home in South OC | $20–22/hr + Paid Drive Time
Full Time / Part Time • San Juan Capistrano, San Clemente & Dana Point
If you're tired of driving all over the county for a couple hours here and a couple hours there — read this.
We're building steady, full-day caregiver routes right in South County. Picture one or two clients who live close together, back-to-back shifts of about 3–5 hours each, and a real 6-to-10-hour day multiple times a week. Less time on the freeway, more hours on the clock, and a schedule you can actually plan your life around.
$20–22 per hour based on experience. Paid every two weeks — plus same-day pay through PayActiv when something can't wait until payday.
And when you do drive, we pay for it: paid travel time and paid mileage between your cases. Your day starts when you clock in, not when you finally get there.
What the work actually looks like
You'll be in someone's home helping them stay there — bathing and dressing, getting around safely, meal prep, light housekeeping, medication reminders, and good company through the long part of the afternoon. Some clients are recovering from surgery, some have dementia, some just need a dependable person in the house. We match you to clients who fit your experience and your comfort level, and we tell you exactly what you're walking into.
The best caregivers we've ever had shared one thing: they showed up when they said they would, and they noticed things. The rest we'll teach you.
What we're looking for
- Six months of caregiving experience — caring for a family member counts
- California Home Care Aide registration, or willingness to register (it's easy, and we walk you through it)
- Current TB clearance
- Reliable transportation and ability to pass a background check
- Comfortable with hands-on personal care
What you get from us
- $20–22/hour based on experience
- Paid drive time and paid mileage between cases
- Same-day pay through PayActiv
- Consistent, stacked schedules in one geographic area — real full days, not scraps
- Paid training on the clock, plus Homewatch CareGivers University
- Dental, vision, and disability insurance, 401(k), employee discounts, and wellness benefits
- $50 referral bonuses and $50 testimonial bonuses — good caregivers know good caregivers
Why work for us
We're a local, independently owned agency — not a national call center that treats caregivers like numbers. When you call the office, a person who knows your name picks up. We don't overbook you, we don't send you into a house blind, and we don't disappear when a shift goes sideways. Take care of our clients, and we'll keep you busy, close to home, and paid well.
Apply today. Every application gets a real response — usually within one business day.
We are an equal opportunity employer and all qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability status, protected veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by law.
A few notes so this actually performs:
You never say "veterans" or "SCAN" anywhere — good instinct. "Some clients are recovering from surgery, some have dementia" keeps it honest and generic without tipping the payer source.
Job boards live and die on the headline, so here are three alternates worth A/B testing:
- "South County Caregivers — Stop Driving All Day. $20–22/hr + Paid Mileage"
- "Full-Day Caregiver Routes in San Juan / San Clemente / Dana Point | $20–22/hr"
- "Caregivers: Two Clients, Close Together, Real Full Days | $20–22/hr + Paid Drive Time"
One honest flag: the phrase "willing to work with one or two clients" can read two ways to a candidate — some love a small, steady caseload, but a few will worry it means "not enough hours." I framed it as a feature (full days, more hours) to kill that objection up front. If your South County demand is genuinely deep, you could add a line like "and as more neighbors need care, we'll grow your route" — but only promise that if it's real.
Want me to drop this into a clean Word doc alongside your old two so you've got all three in one file, or spin up a shorter text-message / social version for quick recruiting blasts?

We Are Different
We work with our compassionate caregivers to create a supportive environment where both clients and caregivers thrive. Clients can experience loneliness, helplessness and boredom and this can get in the way of care. We value getting to know our clients deeply and care is centered on their individual needs and goals. We believe that meaningful relationships are built from matching caregivers with clients that have common interests.
Empowering You with Technology; No More Paperwork!
Our technology allows you to have information at your fingertips and eliminate extra paperwork. We know your time is important. You will be able to use our caregiver app to manage your shift and provide feedback to the office. The information you capture while in the home, directly impacts the clients progress of care and their well-being.
Supporting You
Our training provides you the skills you need to be successful. When an emergency happens, you can respond confidently because of training you have received ahead of time.
We work together so everyone feels involved, connected and engaged.
You Talk. We Listen.
You are the heart of the company — the eyes and ears in the homes of our clients. Without you, we wouldn’t have a business. What you see and hear helps inform our clients’ experience and well-being.
Flexibility
You have a life; we get it. We work with you to create flexible schedules that honor work-life balance. Whether you want consistent, full time hours or a few shifts a week, we strive to meet your needs.
