Careers
Work as a caregiver at Penda
We are a small agency in Chula Vista, owned and run by a registered nurse who worked six years as a caregiver. Caregivers here are employees, not contractors, and the person who supervises you has done the job.

What the work involves
You go to a client’s home on a set schedule and help with daily life: bathing, dressing, moving safely, meals, light housekeeping, laundry, errands, driving to appointments, and company. Some clients need help getting through the morning. Some need someone there around the clock.
You follow a written care plan, and you report changes: eating or drinking less, new confusion, a fall or near-fall, skin that is breaking down, anything that looks different from yesterday. This is non-medical work. You will not give injections, do wound care, or manage IVs.
What we require
- Registration on California’s Home Care Aide Registry, which includes a Live Scan fingerprint background check through the state Department of Justice and the FBI. We can explain how to register if you are not yet on it
- A TB screening
- A current driver’s licence with a clean driving record
- Proof of car insurance
- Verification of work eligibility, including a Social Security number
- Entry-level and annual training, as California requires, plus dementia training through our online training program
Caregivers on our team speak English, Spanish, Tagalog, and Swahili. Being bilingual matters to our clients and it matters to us.
Pay and hours
Pay depends on experience, the shift, and the kind of care involved. We go through pay, hours, and what the schedule looks like when we talk.
We schedule around where you live as much as we can. Most of our clients are in Chula Vista, Eastlake, and Bonita, with others across San Diego County.
