About Elliana

Hi, my name is Elliana, but I go by Elli. I moved to Tucson last April and have been balancing school while helping my mom recover from surgery and caring for my 8-year-old nephew. That experience has really helped me grow in patience, responsibility, and adaptability. I'm currently working toward my bachelor's degree in Psychology with a minor in Child Development, and I'm about halfway through my program. I really enjoy working with kids because of their curiosity and excitement for learning. It's rewarding to be part of that and help create a positive, engaging environment for them. I've been working with children since 2022, mainly in preschool settings, where I built a strong foundation in early childhood care and interaction. More recently, I worked as a gymnastics coach, which gave me the chance to work with older kids and continue building those connections across different age groups.
