"Absolutely perfect": Shopkeeper meets baby she helped deliver in carpark

Sharyn Daley was working at Cheap as Chips discount store in Logan, Brisbane, on Friday when a man ran into the store asking for a towel because his wife was going into labour. 

The quick-thinking assistant manager sprang to action and used her shoelace to tie off the baby's umbilical cord after coaching the mother through birth, and helping the father stay calm. 

Now, she has been reunited with the family and finally met mum Sonia, and little baby Winston, who's doing very well after racing into the world 11 days early. 

Daley and Sonia both beamed with joy as the Cheap as Chips assistant manager walked in the hospital room with a gift-hamper, and she was over the moon when she finally met Winston. 

"I got a cuddle. I got to kiss him on the forehead, cuddle Mum, Dad, they're so so happy," Daley told A Current Affair, smiling ear-to-ear.

"He is precious, he looks like he's grinning already, every time you touch his little cheek he's absolutely perfect."

The family say they were "blessed" to have had help from Daley, and they took a sweet group photo to remember the beautiful moment.
