The Granny NANNIES Story

Grandmother, Esther Dowding with grandson

Granny NANNIES was founded in 1990 by Rob and Kirsten Hodgson in Central Florida. Their mission began with a personal need: finding quality, trustworthy, reliable, and affordable care for Rob's grandmother, Esther Dowding, so she could remain in her Central Florida home. Their situation mirrored that of many families nationwide: elderly parents with adult children balancing careers and parenting, seniors with disabling conditions but a strong desire to maintain independence, and families for whom a nursing home was "out of the question." To meet these needs, Rob and Kirsten founded Granny NANNIES of North America, dedicated to compassionate senior care. From one location in Orlando, it has grown to over 35 franchise locations in seven states, helping thousands upon thousands of families ensure their loved ones age safely and comfortably at home.
