Introduction In a city as vibrant and fast-paced as Grand Friends NYC, finding genuine connection can be tough—especially for families...
In a city as fast-paced and diverse as New York City, meaningful connection can be hard to come by—especially across generations. But at NaniBoo, we believe in the extraordinary value of bringing families and older adults together through surrogate grandparenting.
Whether you’re a busy caregiver seeking support or a vibrant older adult looking to share wisdom and love, New York City is the perfect place to build intergenerational friendships that benefit everyone involved.
A surrogate grandparent is a caring older adult who builds a trusted, supportive relationship with a family—offering the warmth, presence, and life experience of a grandparent, even when there isn’t a biological one nearby.
With NaniBoo, NYC families can connect with Grand Friends who are background-checked, kind-hearted, and eager to be part of a child’s life.
In the five boroughs—Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, The Bronx, and Staten Island—many families live far from extended relatives or lack regular support. Surrogate grandparents help fill this gap by offering:
Emotional support and friendship
Help with childcare or school pickups
Mentorship and storytelling
A strong sense of community
