Teacher assistant

Dual immersion program


My name is Cristina Elizabeth Cruz Nunez. Mother of three beautiful children; my oldest son is thirteen years old, my middle daughter is nine years old, and my youngest daughter is four years old. My primary language is Spanish. Took a lot of English classes and enrolled in the Associate of Arts and Teacher Preparation program. I believe that one of the important values of humanity is to educate ourselves every day. I worked for a year as a teacher's assistant in a kindergarten classroom, where I supported the lead teacher in various daily activities, such as lesson preparation, classroom management, and individualized attention to students. Before this position, I gained valuable experience as a substitute teacher for six months, teaching different classes and adapting to diverse teaching styles and classroom environments. This combination of experiences has deepened my understanding of early childhood education and enhanced my ability to interact effectively with the youngest students.
