I feel you bro. I wish I could find someone local myself. I've looked for years, and then never measure up for different reasons. Some it's skill set, but more often it's attitude and work ethic.

I have no tolerance for either.

I pay 100%. I expect 100%. Including making deadlines the coder gives me, and the work completion. I do not expect to get attitude when you blow your own deadlines, nor when you can't fill a skill set you told me you had before taking the contract.

As the saying goes... the coders, and designers with skill are typically booked months in advance.
