You will not be able to work as beauty therapist or care taker unless you pass the appropriate US and CA licenses.

OP - what exact visa will your husband be using? A lot of expat contracts have the spouse's work permit processing built in as perk.

Only if the spouse qualifies for a work visa (H1B) and , to the OP, you will not be able to get a work visa or employment green card with the qualifications you have.

If your husband is going on an H1B visa then you will get an H4, which you cannot work on.
I believe on intercompany transfer visa (?L2) you would be able to work.

If he has a green card then you get one too and can work.

Hope this helps.
