I am a compassionate and experienced Newborn Care Specialist with over 20 years of experience caring for newborns and supporting families through the beautiful but sometimes overwhelming newborn stage. I am originally from Brazil and speak both English and Portuguese. Families describe me as loving, patient, trustworthy, and calm, and I truly treat every baby as if they were my own. My goal is always to help parents feel supported, rested, and confident while creating a safe and nurturing environment for their baby. I specialize in overnight newborn care, helping establish healthy sleep and feeding routines while giving parents the opportunity to recover and rest. I believe every baby is unique, and I work closely with each family to respect their parenting style and individual needs. Building strong relationships with families is very important to me, and many of the families I have worked with remain close to me long after my contracts end.

I bring over 20 years of experience, a calm and loving approach, and personalized care tailored to each family’s needs.
As soon as you meet Carla it will be incredibly obvious why you will only want her to be the one taking care of your newborn child. It is evident that her natural instincts and overall persona is exactly what every mom wishes for when they are going to select someone to help them with their newborn baby. Not only is Carla warm and patient, but she is knowledgeable and experienced, without being bossy. She almost floats around your home and brings you into a bubble of peace from the second she walks in. I have never had such peace of mind as when Carla helped us. Because of this I have referred Carla to every single friend when they share they are pregnant. Only a lucky few have reached out early enough to secure her. She is exceptional. If I could have nobody else help with my family ever it would be her. You will see when you meet her. Her passion is babies. She will know exactly what you and your family need from her and she senses it. Her talents are unmatched. She is truly exceptional. I would only have another baby if I could have Carla. I could never settle for anyone else. From the second she walks in the door Carla is somehow equally caring and professional and does not miss a beat.

We had such a lovely experience with Carla, she was so professional and so loving at the same time. We hired Carla as a night nurse and the peace of mind we felt with her caring for our baby was so comforting. As a postpartum Mum I also enjoyed our chats and time together. Highly recommend and always grateful!

Carla was our baby nurse for our first child almost 2 years ago. She was so helpful that when we found out we were expecting a second child almost a year later, she was one of the first calls we made to make sure she was available. As a FTM she helped guide me through all of the little things that I knew nothing about and was always available for questions (even during the day when she was technically off the clock)! We have a large dog who even adored Carla and who usually barks when people come to the house, she would greet Carla tail wagging and join her in the baby's room at night. I was extremely hesitant about having someone I did not know spend the night with my newborn but within a week she felt like family. I have healed exceptionally well (both mentally and physically) after having both of my babies and I attribute that to having Carla's help! She was also extremely flexible in working with a schedule and hours that worked for us.

From the very first night, Carla demonstrated a level of professionalism and competence that immediately put our family at ease. She handled every aspect of overnight newborn care with confidence and expertise — feeding schedules, soothing techniques, safe sleep practices, and diapering — all executed seamlessly and with genuine love and attentiveness. Parents of newborns know how vulnerable and exhausting those early weeks can be, and Carla’s presence was nothing short of transformative for our household. One quality that truly set Carla apart was her exceptional commitment to cleanliness and organization. Every morning after her shift, the nursery was spotless — bottles cleaned and sterilized, linens fresh, and everything perfectly in its place. She took initiative without ever needing to be asked, and we could always count on her to leave things in even better condition than she found them. This attention to detail gave us tremendous peace of mind, knowing our newborns were in a hygienic and safe environment at all times. What made Carla especially extraordinary, however, was her attitude. No matter how challenging the night — whether a baby was fussy, colicky, or simply restless — Carla approached every moment with warmth, patience, and an uplifting positivity that radiated through the entire home. She greeted each morning with a smile and a kind word, leaving our family energized and grateful. Her calm, cheerful demeanor was a genuine gift during what can be an overwhelming time for new parents. The fact that we called upon Carla again for our second child speaks volumes. When the time came to welcome our daughter, there was no question in our minds who we wanted by our side. Carla came back with the same extraordinary dedication, the same tireless care, and the same beautiful spirit that had made such a lasting impression the first time. She is not just a skilled professional — she is someone who genuinely loves what she does, and it shows in every interaction. Any family who has the good fortune of working with Carla will be in truly exceptional hands. I recommend her with complete confidence and the warmest possible endorsement. She is a rare find — a consummate professional with a heart of gold — and any family she works with will be incredibly lucky to have her.

Carla is fantastic, caring and trustworthy. She was there for me when I needed her most and I’m very thankful for her. She cared for my 2 month old baby boy overnight multiple times with love and care when my husband was away overseas, and I just needed some good nights sleep. I highly recommend her. She is warm, comforting and will care for your child while you rest. Look no further!!!

Dear Family, We are delighted to recommend Carla, who was our night nanny for eight weeks with our first baby and will soon join us again for our second. From our first night home, Carla brought calm—she held our son, and we could finally rest. Carla’s kindness extended to me (Nina) in particular. She recommended special scar-relief pants from Brazil, gave me thoughtful tips on pumping and milk supply, and consistently checked in on my well-being. She was also wonderfully flexible, adapting her hours—even enabling a date night. On top of that, she was so sweet with our dog, feeding and playing with them. While our son slept, Carla also managed his laundry, washed bottles and pump parts, and ensured everything was perfectly clean for the next day. Carla is warm, reliable, and exceptional with babies. We are excited to have her again, and any family would be fortunate to have her. Warmly, Nina & Benedikt

We have had the pleasure of having Carla as our night nurse for 6 months. We do not know what we would have done without Carla! She was such an incredible presence in our home. Our baby adores her, and so do we. Carla helped us establish a routine, handled all the feeds, kept everything clean and tidy! This was our first baby and Carla’s knowledge with newborns made such a difference! We learned so much from her! Waking up rested and reassured makes all the difference, knowing our baby is in caring hands. It’s made our nights a lot less stressful and our days a lot happier. Carla is a gem—reliable, kind, and incredibly capable with newborns. If you’re looking for someone you can trust with nighttime care, she’s your person. She’s amazing! We love you, Carla!!

To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to wholeheartedly recommend Carla Vega, who was an integral part of our family for over five years when my children were young. I have twin boys, and Carla began working with us when they were newborns and stayed with us until they were about five years old. During that time, she worked full days, from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., and consistently went above and beyond in every aspect of her role. In the early years, she also stayed overnight twice a week, waking up during the night to feed and care for the babies so I could get much-needed rest. Her support during that time was invaluable. Carla is an incredibly kind, loving, and nurturing person. She formed a deep bond with my children and cared for them as if they were her own. She brought warmth, energy, and joy into our home every day—engaging our daughter and twin boys in creative art projects, play, and activities that supported their development. She also took care of practical responsibilities such as preparing their meals and handling their laundry, always with care and attention. Beyond her strong work ethic, she is extremely trustworthy, responsible, and dependable. She was a wonderful role model for my children, demonstrating patience, positivity, and integrity in everything she did. When she first joined us, her English was limited, but over time she worked hard and improved tremendously, which speaks to her intelligence, determination, and adaptability. Any family would be truly fortunate to have Carla as part of their home. I cannot recommend her highly enough. Please feel free to contact me if you would like any additional information. Sincerely, Stefanie Getzoff
