There is a significant Indian population in Vancouver - both immigrant and several generations of post-immigration (White Rock, etc.) so if ultimately you must find a caregiver there I wouldn't expect language to prove problematic. Good luck.

where have you been all my life? ;)
I'm an autodidact, zero formal bg in comp sci. I suck at timed tests and algo interviews. Fifteen years I've been at this and I've worked with several 'full stack' teams, none of which had a single engineer who was within a thousand miles of what I could do with CSS (and they're mostly utter slobs wrt HTML). And as to the endless javascript demands, I will never be of interest to google (and the feeling's mutual) but I always get the job done, and often the job is something FE that none of my esteemed colleagues would know the first thing about how to achieve, comp sci degrees and recursion expertise notwithstanding ... not to mention that every one of them has as many stack overflow tabs open as me.
I'll get back to my sorry little js projects now, maybe I'll get another job before I grow old and die ;)
