Nick probably wasn't a Grimm before the pilot, or for very long before that. We know from later episodes that Adalind was the first woge he ever saw, and that he had previously put at least one wesen criminal away without ever knowing he was a wesen. So it's possible that Renard had knowledge of who Nick's family was and that he might someday become a Grimm, but there's no way he could have known for sure exactly when that might happen. But even if Nick never did Grimm up, the mere chance that he might come into contact with someone who could lead to a key was probably enough reason to watch over him.
