Anisha O'Barto
Childcare Provider / Substitute
Anisha is Sydney O'Barto's mother and Braydon's mother-in-law. She has been a cosmetologist for 26 years and has extensive experience with children. Many of the kids feel very comfortable with her and often come to her for haircuts. Anisha visits O'Barto's childcare to spend time with all the little ones, including her granddaughter, usually during her time off from work. She works very hard and plays many important roles in our lives.
Sometimes, Anisha serves as a provider for the day when the main providers are unavailable due to appointments or illness. She holds all the necessary certifications. When Anisha arrives, the children rush to the door, excitedly shouting "Nonie, Nonie!" over and over, as that is her nickname.
