Would you like to be part of an international, multicultural team with members from around the world? At Crossing Borders International School, we value diversity, collaboration, and a shared love for working with children.

We are seeking creative, energetic, and joyful individuals who thrive in a fast-paced environment and find purpose in supporting early childhood development. If you enjoy working hands-on with young children and supporting teachers in a classroom setting, this may be a great fit for you.

About the Role

As a Bilingual Assistant Teacher, you will support lead teachers and work closely with children as young as 18 months old, communicating with them in the language they are learning—Spanish or Mandarin. This is a physically active, hands-on, and highly interactive role that requires patience, flexibility, and a positive attitude.

Key Responsibilities Include:

  • Assist lead teachers with daily classroom activities and routines
  • Engage children through play-based learning, care, and structured activities
  • Communicate with children in Spanish or Mandarin to support language immersion
  • Help create and maintain a safe, clean, and organized learning environment
  • Support children’s social, emotional, and developmental needs

 

What to Expect

  • You will be on your feet and actively engaged throughout the day
  • The classroom environment can be busy, loud, and fast-paced
  • Working with toddlers requires emotional resilience, adaptability, and consistency
  • Every day brings new challenges—and new rewards

Despite these challenges, many find this role deeply rewarding and a great entry point into early childhood education.
