Finding a Grand Friend in LA: Where Family and Friendship Meet
Introduction
In a city as big and fast-paced as Los Angeles, it’s easy for families to feel isolated—especially those without nearby relatives. That’s where Grand Friends come in: caring older adults who offer the warmth, wisdom, and support of a grandparent, without needing to be related by blood.
At NaniBoo, we’re helping families across LA—from Santa Monica to Silver Lake, and everywhere in between—build genuine intergenerational friendships that enrich lives on both sides of the relationship.
👵🏽 What’s a Grand Friend?
A Grand Friend is a surrogate grandparent—someone who steps into a caring, mentor-like role for families who want the connection and support of an older adult. Whether it’s sharing a meal, reading stories, or just talking about life, these relationships are built on trust, kindness, and presence.
Grand Friends can:
Offer emotional support to children and caregivers
Share life experiences and wisdom
Provide companionship and stability
Help families stay grounded in community
They’re not babysitters—they’re part of the extended family you choose.
🌴 Why LA Families Are Looking for Grand Friends
Los Angeles is a city full of culture and opportunity—but it can also be transient and disconnected. Many parents are raising kids far from their own families. Others have aging parents who live across the country—or no longer have grandparents in their children’s lives.
That’s why more LA caregivers are seeking Grand Friends:
To provide extra support and guidance
To help raise children with multigenerational love
To build community within their neighborhood
To offer children positive, patient role models
“We matched with a retired librarian in Culver City. She’s been like a second grandma to our daughter—and a friend to us too.”
— Michelle, LA parent
