    In your usercontrol, make sure that you have a reference to the umbraco.dll. 

    Then do something like this: 

    using System;
    using System.Collections.Generic;
    using System.Web.UI;
    using umbraco.presentation.nodeFactory;
    
    namespace Your.Namespace
    {
        public class WebUserControl1 : UserControl
        {
            protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
            {
                var currentNode = Node.GetCurrent();
                var children = new List<Node>();
                foreach (Node child in currentNode.Children)
                {
                    if (child.NodeTypeAlias == "gallery")
                        children.Add(child);
                }
            }
        }
    }

    Then you can use the children list for whatever you need it.

    if you were working from a Document rather than a Node you can do something like

    foreach(Document child in currentDoc.Children.Where(x => x.ContentType.Alias == "gallery")

    but I think the above is database intensive so you're better to do this

    Document[] children = doc.Children.Where(x => x.ContentType.Alias == "gallery"); 
    foreach (Document child in children) 
    {...}

    but you're better using nodes instead of documents anyway
