West Coast Baby Care

06/30/2025

Dear Families, Nannies and Friends,
As West Coast Baby Care says good-bye, I want to extend my deepest thanks.

For the past four years, it has been a true privilege to support families in Portland, across the U.S., and around the world—whether welcoming a new baby, finding a trusted nanny, or simply needing some guidance along the way. Thank you for allowing me to join you on this journey.

Michelle, my trusted Nanny Coordinator and Admin Assistant, thank you for 2 ½ years of being my “right hand”. I honestly don’t know how I would have done it without you.

Families, thank you for entrusting your family’s care to us and putting faith in our process to find you professional, compassionate caregivers.

Nannies and Doulas, thank you for providing professional, compassionate and comprehensive care to our families---and for taking the time to join our roster—because without you, all this would not be possible.

Friends, thank you for supporting me through this process and encouraging me to do what is best for my overall well-being—even if it’s hard to let go.

This decision comes from a place of love, as I return to work that’s long been close to my heart—supporting Portland-area families who are raising children with mental health or developmental needs. It’s a continuation of the same mission: to walk alongside families with compassion and integrity, while also continuing to work on better managing my own health with a better work-life balance.

It's time for the next chapter of caregiving.

With heartfelt gratitude,
Sheryl Cooksley
Founder, West Coast Baby Care
