Why is Raquel Tara's Baby Sleep Service Different?

For families with babies aged 0–12 months who are seeking experienced, in-home overnight support. This Premium Overnight In-Home Baby Sleep Support Service is for families who want a clear, consistent approach carried out by an experienced professional — rather than trying to implement it themselves.

About Raquel Tara
Raquel Tara trained as a Mothercraft Maternity Nanny and Night Nurse over 20 years ago and has since amassed hundreds of thousands of hours consulting with parents on baby sleep.
“I started to learn about babies and their parents in London back in the late nineties when I trained as a mothercraft night nanny. For more than 20 years I garnered first hand experience, and an intimate understanding of how exhausting overnight wakes can be for parents. Especially when it feels like a baby will only settle for you. Families are struggling with tricky bedtimes, babies fighting naps, and often feel conflicted because they want to move forward from contact napping or feeding to sleep. And all of these families are worried their baby isn’t getting the sleep they need…”
Raquel explains that a lot of these baby sleep issues can be resolved by helping your baby learn the skill of self settling, and resettling themselves to sleep through the night. The Raquel Tara approach to sleep gives you the tools to support your baby to relax enough to let sleep come.
Raquel is more than a baby sleep consultant; her 1:1 coaching programs are individually tailored to help you support your baby in a kind, gentle and supportive way, as well as giving you an understanding of both the practical and psychological aspects of baby sleep and development. It’s this additional coaching component not offered in alternative baby sleep programs that distinguishes Raquel’s work from the majority of baby sleep consultants out there who have limited long term experience working with families and their babies.
“To do this work, and do it well. To make an impact, and create a truly holistic outcome for families; experience matters. It matters an incredible amount. I’m quite often the last resort for these families. Because they have been given such flaky, bad and short lived solutions by inexperienced ‘professionals’. A baby sleep certification or nursing degree means nothing if you have limited experience with a multitude of families and babies over many years. I learned that the hard way when I started out as a night nanny”. Says Raquel.
Since becoming a Baby Sleep Consultant, Raquel Tara has helped elite athletes, celebrities, doctors, teachers, and coaches both-in Australia and abroad.
Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to common questions about Raquel’s in-home overnight baby sleep support
How can I get help in my home while also getting sleep at the same time?
This is what overnight support allows.
Raquel stays overnight in your home and works directly with your baby, providing sleep coaching and, for newborns, overnight support and respite while you rest.
You are not going in or managing the night. The work is carried out for you, so you can step back and sleep while your baby is supported.
What is in-home overnight baby sleep support?
In-home overnight baby sleep support is a service where Raquel stays overnight in your home and works directly with your baby to guide sleep.
The work is done in real time, overnight, in your baby’s actual sleep environment — not as a plan for you to follow later.
This allows changes to be implemented consistently and carried through once the stay is complete.
Can you pay someone to sleep train your baby?
Yes — and this is exactly what overnight support allows.
Raquel stays overnight in your home and works directly with your baby, guiding sleep in real time and carrying out the process for you while you sleep.
You are not needing to go in or manage the night. The work is done for you, with your baby supported throughout.
Do you travel to different cities for overnight baby sleep support?
Yes. Raquel is a FIFO baby sleep consultant and travels to families across Australia to provide in-home overnight support.
She regularly works with families in Sydney, Brisbane, the Gold Coast, Melbourne, Canberra, Newcastle and the Northern Rivers.
All support is provided in your home, with overnight stays tailored to your baby and your environment.
Do I need to stay involved overnight, or can I actually sleep?
You’ll step back overnight, allowing the process to be carried out effectively while you sleep.
Raquel manages the work directly with your baby, which means you are not going in or responding throughout the night. This allows the approach to be carried out consistently.
If your baby cries, this is supported as part of the process. You are not left to manage it, and you are not required to step in.
If stepping back feels difficult, some families choose to stay elsewhere for the first night or two so the work can be carried out properly.
What if my baby cries more before it gets better?
Some protest is expected, particularly for older babies who are used to a certain way of settling.
This is part of the adjustment, not a sign that something is wrong.
Your baby is supported through this. They are not left to cry without response.
With consistency, this phase passes. The intensity and duration of crying reduce as your baby accepts the new approach.
Do you work with babies of all ages?
No. This service is designed specifically for babies aged 0–12 months.
Raquel specialises in this stage, where sleep can be shaped clearly and effectively within the home environment.
For older children, this service is not the right fit.
