High paying personal care jobs in Houston-Pasadena-The Woodlands, TX

Every personal care occupation below is ranked by its median annual wage in Houston-Pasadena-The Woodlands, TX. Read the percentile range, not just the median: the gap between the 10th and 90th inside a single personal care job is usually wider than the gap between two different ones, so where you land in a field matters more than which field you pick.

Cost of living: prices in Houston-Pasadena-The Woodlands, TX run 1.4% below the national average (2024), so a Houston-Pasadena-The Woodlands, TX salary is worth about 1.01× its face value in national terms.
