Ongoing Wordpress development help

Why is it so dang hard to find a reliable Wordpress developer? I keep tryin', and everyone starts off ok, and then end up taking days and weeks to respond to me. Is it me? Do I have smelly pits? I dunno... maybe you're the developer who will be the one I've always hoped to find???

I have ongoing projects with clients who have Wordpress sites that need changes/updates/etc. It will be regular, albeit ad-hoc work - things such as changing headers/footers, navigation, sorting formatting issues, custom CSS stuff, forms, etc etc etc.

To start I have a project updating various bits on an event website, like fixing some meta data, setting up Google analytics, adding a few graphic buttons on slider images, changing logos, stuff like that. I think it'll be no more than 2 hours, but ongoing work as mentioned.
