In a sprawling city like Los Angeles, many families find themselves navigating parenthood without nearby relatives or regular support. Between busy work schedules, long commutes, and rising childcare costs, it’s no surprise that more and more families are turning to Surrogate grandparents LA—loving older adults who become trusted members of the family.
At NaniBoo, we make it easy for caregivers and Grandparents to build meaningful intergenerational connections across LA—from Santa Monica to Silver Lake, Westwood to Highland Park.
A surrogate grandparent (or “Grand Friend”) is a compassionate older adult who forms a trusted, supportive relationship with a family. They don’t replace biological grandparents—instead, they create their own bond through time, care, and shared experiences.
Whether it’s reading a bedtime story, walking to the park, or simply offering advice, Grand Friends bring comfort, tradition, and extra hands when families need it most.
Families in Los Angeles come from all walks of life—and many are far from extended family. That’s where NaniBoo comes in, helping parents and caregivers:
