About Us

Tiny Tauk About Us With G-Love and Special Sauce

Hi, I’m Lauren,  creator of TinyTauk. I have been operating my business here in beautiful Montauk for the past 5  years and  it’s very possible that I have already taken care of your children! If not, let me tell you a little bit about myself…

I have over 27 years of experience as a caregiver to prominent families in New York – some include the owner & developer of Ubisoft, a former South African supermodel, an artistic reality TV star, a Manhattan socialite, and a cast member of the TV show Blue Bloods to name (and not name) a few.

After receiving training as a postpartum doula and choosing a more relaxed way of life, I moved to Montauk full-time in 2018. Here, I focus on TinyTauk and my passions such as yoga, painting & illustration, and long walks by the water with my small dog, The Great Gatsby.

I am certified by the Red Cross in infant/child CPR and Anaphylaxis Injector protocols – I hold extensive experience in newborn specialist care, Montessori curriculums and have worked side by side with children’s special needs therapists in our playroom.

TinyTauk has been my labor of love since 2019,  bringing you convenient evening babysitting on site at our local hotels or in your summer home. In 2021, we expanded our business to include a physical playroom for Drop-&-Drinks, movie nights, creative classes, children’s yoga and summer enrichment sessions for young children.

Thank you for choosing TinyTauk! We look forward to seeing you soon.

Happy Parents

TinyTauk is a lifesaver! We are so grateful for Lauren and her team. From the moment we arrived in Montauk, until they day we left, we knew that our daughter was in the best hands.

Lauren is caring, funny, patient, and kind, and her experience with children, coupled with her deep knowledge of Montauk and the Gurney’s resorts, helped to set us at ease during a hectic weekend. It was clear that our daughter adored her immediately. Lauren took great care to ensure that their days together were fun, educational, and active, while also keeping our daughter safe (no easy task, as she was just learning to walk) and well-rested (TinyTauk team members are bedtime magicians!).
We really appreciated Lauren’s communication approach – photo texts while we were out, and helpful reminders and follow up before we arrived and during our holiday – and we found the TinyTauk team to be prompt and professional.

If Lauren was willing to move back home with us, we’d be thrilled to work with her every day. But given how much she loves the East End, we will just have to look forward to seeing her the next time we’re in town! In the meantime, visitors to Montauk can enjoy their time away knowing that the TinyTauk team is available to make vacation equally wonderful for their little ones!

You are SOOOO good with the boys. You knew exactly what to do when the boys got frustrated or upset. When you are here, I feel totally comfortable and know the boys are in good hands when we go out. We appreciate your good work. You make it look easy, but I know it’s not. Thank you.

I can always count on TinyTauk and their staff to look after my 2 dogs. They have helped me in a bind with last minute walks, overnights at my home when I’m away and anything else in between. When I return, I can tell how happy my dogs are that they had a visit from the TinyTauk girls!!

.. thank you so much they love you. Helped us out tremendously and I appreciate you working with us. When we come back up we will call if needed. Thank you. If you have anything you want us to write for referrals we will absolutely do for you.

We have been working with Tinytauk since 2019 and couldn’t be happier! We have a 5 year old and our newest addition who is turning 1 soon both love the Tinytauk girls. They don’t want me to leave but when I come back, they don’t want their sitter to leave!

Thank you Tinytauk & Lauren for providing such a great service.

We are very grateful for the amazing care that TinkyTauk gave our baby! As first time parents, who hadn’t left their 11-month old with anyone other than my mother, we were nervous but immediately felt at ease from the moment we spoke to the owner. The sitter was enthusiastic, gracious, and very accommodating (our event ran late and we have some difficult food preparation needs). She brought books and age-appropriate activities when she arrived and we received photos, videos, and updates so we could see how happy and well-cared for he was!

Thank you for taking care of me in such a fun way.
