Hi, bassystacy, welcome to the forum. Finding the jobs is definitely the hardest and most time-consuming part of being a mystery shopper. There is a list of a couple of hundred different mystery shopping companies under Mystery Shopping Company Discussion, [
www.mysteryshopforum.com]. When I first started, I went to the website of most of those companies and signed up with them. There are a lot, and it takes a while. I did a few every day. Usually the companies send a confirmation e-mail to let you know you are accepted as a shopper and you get a login so you can log in and check their job boards. Many send e-mail notifications of jobs when they post them. Judging from the posts of shoppers in the Bay Area, I would say they is probably a lot of work there. You won't find a lot of work here on this site; most of the work will be found through the websites and e-mails of the companies you sign up with.
