Finding Affordable Childcare in NYC: Discover Gabi Childcare’s Childcare Pods!

Updated: Aug 24




Are you struggling to find affordable childcare in New York City? You’re not alone! Many families grapple with this pressing challenge daily, navigating a landscape riddled with unprofessional nannies, caregivers going "ghost," and inconsistency that disrupts their routines. Constantly searching for reliable and cost-effective options can be exhausting, especially when caregivers are frequently unavailable or demand high rates. If you've felt the pinch of this childcare dilemma, you're certainly not alone! So, what if we told you there’s a new, innovative solution designed to meet your family's unique needs while remaining budget-friendly? Enter Childcare Pods, Gabi Childcare’s answer to the popular nanny share concept! Our Childcare Pods offer a structured, reliable, and affordable option that ensures your children receive consistent, high-quality care from vetted professionals, without breaking the bank.





What is Nanny Share?

Nanny share is a popular childcare option where two or more families share a nanny, splitting the costs and creating a social, engaging environment for their children. Gabi Childcare is excited to introduce our unique version of nanny share: Childcare Pods.



What Are Gabi Childcare Childcare Pods?

Childcare Pods are small, carefully-structured groups where families come together to share childcare resources. Imagine the camaraderie of nanny-sharing, but enhanced! Designed for children aged 1 year and up, our Childcare Pods allow families who live in the same neighborhoods or attend the same schools to team up for affordable, enriching care.

Here’s how it works: a minimum of two families forms a pod, with a specified caregiver assigned to provide care and planned activities. The caregiver can either combine children for group activities, or work one-on-one with each family while alternating hosting duties—flexibility that fits your lifestyle!



Benefits of Childcare Pods

  • Affordable: With Childcare Pods, you receive the benefit of professional childcare at a fraction of the cost compared to traditional arrangements. 

  • Personalized Attention:We prioritize individualized attention! For children aged 1 to 3 years, our ratio is 1:2; for ages 3 to 12, it’s 1:3. This way, your child receives the focused care and guidance they deserve.

  • Community Building:Pods consist of families and friends living in the same neighborhood or attending the same school, fostering a close-knit community.

  • Adaptable Childcare: Choose between a structure where all children are together or one where the caregiver works with one family at a time, with families taking turns hosting.

  • Guaranteed Hours: Whether part-time (minimum of 2 hours) or full-time (up to 40 hours), we have you covered.

  • Flexibility: Our caregivers can drop off or pick up from any school or activity, making logistics stress-free. Plus, we’re here to support you during school holidays, ensuring consistent care when you need it the most.

  • Consistent Care: Each pod has the same vetted caregiver, ensuring familiarity and trust for your child. Plus, all caregivers are thoroughly screened and fingerprinted to guarantee your peace of mind.

  • Enriching Activities: From daily planned activities to interactive STEAM projects, we prioritize your child's growth and development, making learning fun and engaging.
