Childcare Pods

Fully managed nanny share logistics

Childcare Pods are Gabi Childcare’s elevated approach to nanny shares—designed for families seeking consistency, community, and cost-effective care without the stress of coordination. We thoughtfully place children together based on neighborhood, school, age, and developmental stage, creating small, nurturing groups led by a dedicated caregiver. You don’t manage schedules, payments, or logistics. We do it all! 

Each pod is intentionally capped at 2–5 children, depending on age, ensuring personalized attention, safety, and continuity of care. Pods are available for infants, toddlers, preschoolers, and school-age children, including families seeking special-needs-inclusive support. Families may join an existing pod or request that we arrange one on their behalf.

Childcare Pods can also be used for backup care, school pick-up and drop-off, or schedule gaps when consistent coverage matters most. This model offers dependable routines, meaningful peer connection, and reliable support—at a more accessible rate than private one-to-one care. Whether you’re a working professional, dual-career household, or a family seeking community-based care, childcare pods deliver balance, structure, and peace of mind.

First responders and stay-at-home parents love the flexibility and affordability of Gabi Childcare childcare pods for active toddlers.

Designed for families who value routine and community, childcare pods support children before and after school with professional supervision, engagement, and care.

When school is not in session—during holidays, breaks, or unexpected closures—our childcare pods continue without interruption. Because family life doesn’t pause when school does, we ensure children remain supported in a familiar group with a trusted caregiver.

Serving neighborhoods across New York City, Westchester, and Long Island, childcare pods simplify daily logistics while offering dependable coverage, consistent routines, and peace of mind for families year-round.
