Summary
I am very hard working and easily adaptable. Always looking for new opportunities to improve my skills and knowledge. I am very motivated and eager to learn. Working with children has taught me many things but specially my ability to problem solve and adapt to new challenges. I am fluent in Spanish and English. I was born and raised in Mexico until the age of eight so I carry a strong foundation within my Spanish. I continue to use it on a day to day basis at work and at home. That’s why I believe I could be a good fit as a bilingual instructional aide.
Personable and reliable candidate with passion for supporting educational environments. Well-versed in classroom management techniques and equipped with skills in lesson planning and instructional support. Dedicated to fostering positive learning atmosphere and enhancing student success.
