My family and I came to Meritus to be induced for the birth of my first child, we were all nervous about what to expect and worried about the baby. Sheryl was my nurse for two nights in a row from the beginning of induction and the birth of my daughter. The whole time Sheryl told us what to expect and stuck by what she said. She made me feel important and safe. Her steady, constant support and honesty eased my nerves and I credit a smooth, safe delivery to Sheryl. Her support did not stop at the birth of my daughter. She made sure to take care of myself, my husband and daughter and made our first night as a family magical. I could not have made it through without feeling Sheryl's genuine love and support. She went above and beyond for me. My family will never forget her compassion and the way she made us feel in a very scary and exciting time.
