The best bridge between despair and hope is a good night’s sleep. — E. Joseph Cossman
If you’re struggling with healthy sleep hygiene, I’m here to help.
At Little Bear Consulting LLC, I am passionate about creating healthy sleep hygiene for all stages of life. What does “sleep hygiene” mean? Healthy sleep hygiene is behaviors and routines we have in order to optimize sleep. By creating healthy habits early, we set children up for success in adulthood. Tailored to fit your needs, I will help walk you through this process with as much or as little intervention necessary. I have designed these programs to fit different learning styles, abilities, and personalities.
Sleep Training Services
I understand every child and situation is different. Each sleeping program will be tailored to fit you and your child’s needs with room to add additional services if needed.

Meet Raylene
Hello, families! My name is Raylene and I reside in Boulder, Colorado. I have over 20 years of childcare experience. Throughout my site are photos of some of my clients, children I have developed a strong relationship with over many years. These photos are used with written permission from their parents.
My journey started when I had turned 11 years old, and I had asked my mother to enroll me into a babysitting class. Since that day, I knew my place on this earth was to help children and families.
While I attended the University of Northern Colorado, I completely fell in love with the process of being able to communicate through other creative mediums and the ability to teach children how to express themselves more freely. I graduated with a B.A. in Art Education and was professionally licensed in Colorado and Ohio.
My professional experience consists of:
Pre-K Teacher
Daycare Float
Head of Art Department for after school care
Professional Art Teacher for grades Pre-k-12th grade
Art Camp Counselor
Art Studio Teacher
Nanny
House Manager
Proud graduate from The Institute of Pediatric Sleep and Parenting.
Proud graduate from The Newborn Care Training Academy
I am currently working full-time with my little one, “Chicken Nugget”. He has been the light of my life this past year and a half, and I cannot wait to continue this journey with him and his parents. I provide sleep consulting services Monday-Friday 6:00PM-8:30PM and Saturday-Sunday 9:00AM-5:00PM.

My process always starts off with a discovery call and an intake form. After a comprehensive evaluation of your intake form, an in-depth sleep plan with instructions on how to perform the recommended techniques will be emailed to you. If you need any additional support at any time, extra video calls or phone calls may be purchased at any time. We will wrap up our sleep training process with a video call to discuss how things went.

I am currently accepting clients who have been formally diagnosed with ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorder, and Sensory Processing Disorder. Please fill out the intake form as detailed as possible for sensory accommodations, triggers, and any other special requirements. If your child has not been formally diagnosed or showing symptoms of illness, please reach out to your medical provider. Please be aware some children diagnosed with special needs may be out of my scope and may need to be referred out to a medical professional.

I do not currently create sleep plans that implement the “Extinction” method or the “Ferber” method.

After our discovery call, I will send an invoice for the plan we have discussed to your email. You may pay with Apple Pay, Zelle, Cash, or Check. In order to keep extra fees off of your total cost, I am not accepting other forms of payment at this time. DISCLAIMER: Once a payment has been sent, all sales are final.
-
Due to the amount of time and effort for each sleep plan, all sales are final. You may cancel services at anytime. However, a refund will not be issued under any circumstances.
