Life doesn’t always require long-term care. Our local sitter services connect families with trusted, experienced sitters for occasional, backup, and short-term childcare needs, offering dependable in-home support when flexibility matters.
TUTORS
Our tutoring services support students with personalized, in-home academic guidance across a range of subjects and ages, thoughtfully matched to encourage confidence, consistency, and long-term success.
LONG-TERM CHILDCARE
We understand the time, care, and attention required to find the right long-term childcare solution, which is why we are deeply invested in creating the right match for every family. As a North Shore nanny agency, we specialize in professional, long-term nanny placement.
ABOUT TINY TIDES
Based in the seaside community of Newburyport, Massachusetts, Tiny Tides is a family-first, boutique childcare agency dedicated to creating trusted, meaningful connections between families and childcare and tutoring professionals. We specialize in placing long-term nannies, local babysitters and tutors in homes throughout the North Shore of Massachusetts and surrounding areas where dependable care is needed most.
Founded by owner Shannon Haley, Tiny Tides was born from personal experience. After welcoming her first child, Shannon encountered firsthand the challenges of finding reliable, trustworthy childcare and quickly recognized a gap in available resources for families in the Newburyport area. As both an educator and a mother, Shannon made it her mission to create a high-touch, personalized childcare service that supports families through every stage of their care journey, helping them find the right match with confidence and peace of mind.
