Hi! I’m Eliana, a Southern California Native who grew up playing in canyons and painting on every surface I could find. I am currently a student at San Diego Mesa College where I intends to transfer to a four-year university to complete my major in Education with a minor in Environmental Science. I began my childcare journey at the age of eight as a mothers helper to two toddlers. I now works full time at All Friends Nature School, a nature preschool rooted in kindness, gratitude, understanding, metacognition through mindfulness, and imagination-based play. When I’m not teaching or guiding children, I’m painting murals, making music with my friends, hiking, doing yoga, cooking nourishing meals, reading and spending time with the people I love. I’m excited to meet your family, and provide a safe and creative environment for your children!
