Eliana cared for my oldest daughter when she was preschool/elementary school age. My daughter has autism and sensory processing difficulties, so caring for her can be challenging for some people as they get to know my daughter's individual needs and quirks. Eliana clicked with her right away, and it was obvious from the start that my daughter felt comfortable with her. My daughter can be very rigid in her wants and needs, particularly when dealing with sensory triggers. Eliana was able to navigate that rigidity in a caring and respectful way that honored my daughter's autonomy. She created a safe and warm environment that allowed my daughter to feel seen, and to open up and have fun. As a parent to a child with special needs, it was a great relief and comfort to see them get along so well, so quickly.
