Why does an overnight baby sleep consultant cost more than a typical sleep consultant?
Raquel Tara isn’t a typical sleep consultant. Known as Australia’s leading FIFO (fly-in, fly-out) overnight baby sleep consultant, she travels to families throughout Australia and internationally, staying overnight in their homes while working directly with their baby.
For many parents, the FIFO model itself provides reassurance. Unlike consultants who provide advice remotely, Raquel travels to the family, bringing more than 25 years of hands-on professional experience directly into their home.
Most baby sleep consultants provide advice and leave parents to implement the sleep training themselves.
Raquel provides approximately 58 hours of hands-on support in your home, including overnight sleep training, daytime nap coaching and 14 days of follow-up support.
When broken down across the hours provided, the investment is comparable to many experienced overnight nanny and newborn care services. The difference is that the goal isn’t simply to care for your baby through the night — it’s to leave your family with a baby who is sleeping well, parents who are well rested, and the knowledge and confidence to maintain the progress long after the stay has ended.
Many parents describe the experience as a “sleep holiday at home” — an opportunity to recover from weeks or months of sleep deprivation while an experienced overnight baby sleep consultant works directly with their baby overnight and they finally get the rest they need.

About Raquel Tara
Before becoming one of Australia’s most experienced overnight baby sleep consultants, Raquel Tara worked throughout the UK, Europe and the Middle East as a professional maternity night nurse and sleep nanny, supporting high-profile and celebrity families.
After returning to Australia, she continued providing overnight sleep support and baby sleep consulting services, becoming widely known as Sydney’s original ‘Celebrity Sleep Nanny’ Baby Sleep Consultant.
Raquel Tara trained as a Mothercraft Maternity Nanny and Night Nurse over 25 years ago in the UK, and has since amassed hundreds of thousands of hours consulting with parents on baby sleep.
“I started learning 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 gained 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 almost all of these families are quietly 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 already been given flaky, short-lived solutions by inexperienced ‘professionals’.
A baby sleep certification or nursing degree means very little if you have limited experience working extensively with a multitude of babies and families over many years.
I learned that the hard way myself when I first started out as a night nanny.”
Frequently Asked Questions About In-Home Overnight Baby Sleep Support
Why do families choose overnight baby sleep support instead of trying to do it themselves?
Some families contact Raquel after weeks or months of broken sleep. Others choose to seek support much earlier, before difficult sleep habits become established and exhaustion takes hold.
While most sleep consultants provide advice and leave parents to implement the process themselves, Raquel works directly with your baby overnight in your home.
This allows parents the opportunity to recover from sleep deprivation while the sleep training is carried out properly in your home, with guidance tailored to your baby’s temperament, development and individual needs.
Over the years, Raquel has worked with families from all walks of life, including doctors, teachers, business owners, professional athletes, high-profile families and first-time parents who simply want experienced, hands-on support during one of the most important stages of early parenthood.
Will I need to be involved overnight when baby sleep support is provided in my home?
No. This is a fully hands-on overnight service.
Raquel manages the overnight process directly with your baby while parents are able to step back, recover, and sleep.
Your baby is supported, settled, and cared for throughout the night while the sleep support is carried out properly inside the home.
Due to the highly personalised nature of this service, availability is limited each month.
This form is intended for families ready to move forward with premium overnight in-home support.
