Overnight Baby Sleep Consultant Southern Highlands
Work with Sydney's Original Celebrity Sleep Nanny
“A total, 4–5 night, ‘Done-For-You’ sleep restoration.
I handle the nights; you reclaim your life.”
Baby Sleep Coaching Done For You — At Home, While You Sleep
If you’re exhausted, overwhelmed, and nothing you’ve tried is working — this is where it gets handled.
And you get to sleep from the very first night.
Raquel comes into your home and takes the lead overnight — so your baby learns to sleep while you finally get rest.
Who is Raquel Tara?
Raquel Tara is Australia’s only FIFO in-home overnight baby sleep consultant. She travels to Canberra and stays in your home for multiple nights, working directly with your baby overnight — so it’s handled properly from the start.
Raquel has helped elite athletes, celebrities, doctors, teaches and coaches both-in Australia and abroad, and she can help you too!
By the time families call Raquel, they’re done trying to figure it out — they want it handled properly, and to know that when she leaves, their baby is sleeping and they know exactly what to do.
Most families Raquel works with aren’t looking for more advice — they’re ready for someone experienced to step in and take the lead.
“Almost 30 years of expertise providing proven results for high performance families.
I don’t just offer advice; I provide the certainty of an elite specialist-led 4-5 night transformation.”
I’m not here to offer advice; I’m here to begin restoring that foundation in four nights.”
Who this is for
This is for families who are exhausted and have already tried to improve their baby’s sleep — but are still dealing with multiple wakes, short naps, or needing to feed, rock or resettle throughout the night.
It’s for parents who don’t want more information or conflicting advice — they want the sleep sorted properly, in their own home.
How overnight support works
Raquel comes into your home and takes the lead overnight
The sleep training is done for you while you sleep
Settling, resettling, and adjustments are handled in real time
You are not left trying to implement this yourself
By the time the stay is complete, your baby is already sleeping — and you know exactly what to do to keep it that way.
Why this works
This is not advice you’re trying to implement while exhausted.
The changes are made overnight, in real time, with your baby — so sleep is established clearly and consistently from the start.
You’re not left trying to figure it out after I leave — you’re continuing what is already working.
Raquel cut through everything. Over the two weeks we worked with her, she was responsive, reassuring, intuitive and kind. She gave us the gift of sleep — but more importantly, the confidence to trust our instincts and our baby.
We’re all so much happier (and well-rested) for it.”

What to Expect
Night 1
Once your bedtime rituals are complete, Raquel takes over settling.
She stays with your baby until they relax and fall asleep in the cot, learning what helps them settle enough to let sleep come.
Parents observe on the monitor, then rest overnight.
Night 2
With primary sleep associations removed, many babies begin to realise that sleep can happen without feeding, sucking, being held, or movement.
Settling is usually quicker, though temperament matters.
Night 3
Parents begin settling with Raquel’s real-time guidance.
Most babies settle within 30 minutes by this point, often sooner — but again, temperament matters.
Night 4
Sleep patterns usually begin consolidating more reliably overnight.
The focus shifts toward consistency, confidence, and refining any remaining settling or resettling challenges.
Two days of nap coaching are also integrated across the stay so daytime sleep supports overnight progress.
Night 5 (Full Integration Stay)
Five nights is recommended for older babies, babies with more established sleep associations or stronger protest patterns, and for families who are deeply exhausted and need a more complete reset themselves — what many parents describe as a “sleep holiday.”
Additional Daytime Support Included in the 5-Night Stay
The 5-night package also includes a third day of nap coaching and daytime support, allowing more time to refine daytime rhythms, troubleshoot nap challenges, and strengthen the overall carryover between day sleep and overnight sleep.
Please note: Due to the stronger protest patterns and more established sleep associations often seen in older babies, Raquel may not agree to taking on bookings for babies 9 months or older unless the family is booking the full 5-night stay.
