About us
I’m the founder of Tiny Swap, and like many moms here in Houston, my journey started at home. As a stay-at-home mom, I wanted a way to contribute financially to my family while still being present for my children. At the same time, our home was filling up with baby gear we weren’t using — items we weren’t quite ready to let go of, especially since we weren’t sure if we’d have more children. Selling everything felt too final. Donating felt like letting go too soon. But keeping it all just created more clutter and stress. That’s when Tiny Swap was born — right here in Houston.

Tiny Swap exists to help Houston families simplify their homes, earn extra income, and connect through a trusted, local parenting community.
We believe you shouldn’t have to choose between holding onto meaningful baby items and creating space in your home. And we believe stay-at-home moms (and dads) deserve flexible, safe ways to earn income while staying present for their families.
Tiny Swap is a local, peer-to-peer marketplace where Houston families can:
Buy gently used baby and kids items nearby
Sell items they no longer need
Rent baby gear to other local families
Our rental feature is what truly sets us apart.
Instead of permanently parting with your baby items, you can rent them out to other families in the Houston area when you’re not using them from strollers and bassinets to swings and travel essentials. This creates a recurring income stream while keeping your items available for your own future use. For renters, it means affordable, convenient access to baby gear without the long-term commitment perfect for short-term needs, visits from family, or trying before buying.
