In CA, home economics is taught at the secondary level (Jr & Sr high school). So you need to get a secondary education credential (see http://www.ctc.ca.gov/credentials/). This credential requires you to have a BA or BS in a specialty (major…in your case Home Econ). There may be other test to take …usually after you graduate…before you can enter the classroom for pay.

Get an idea of the “standards” in the classroom
