Although I am not a raccoon expert I can hopefully give you some ideas as to what may be going on with Daniela.
Vomiting is a very vague sign and could indicate several different things going on. Some of the more common causes of vomiting include intestinal parasites, gastritis (inflammation of the stomach wall), pancreatitis, dietary indiscretion, or a foreign body/blockage.
If you have a veterinarian willing to see raccoons I would recommend taking her to the vet. She may be dehydrated and need fluids as well as some antinausea medication to help stop the vomiting. Your vet may also want to take x-rays as well. Daniela may need to be sedated for these procedures.
If you are unable to take her to the vet I would recommend withholding food for 12-24 to let the GI tract rest. Once you start feeding her again feed small meals every 4-6 hours. Once she is able to keep food down you can go back to her regular feeding schedule.
And please remember, raccoons can carry several disease that can affect humans, most notably rabies. If you notice any abnormal symptoms or neurological issues (like drooling, confusion, or aggression) please be very careful. Wash your hands frequently and do your best to avoid being bitten. (Even if she is not typically a biter animals can and will do things out of their normal character when they are sick).
I hope this helps. Best of luck.
