To my Dearest Godchild,

When I was asked to be your Godmother, I was beaming with happiness. All I could think about was all the things we could do together, how much I loved you, how I couldn’t wait to watch you grow up, and how excited I was to help teach you about life, God, and your faith. You were already five months old and I had already cherished you so much! I knew I had duties as your Godmother, and I am so grateful your parents chose me to fulfill them. Being your Nanny, I make these promises to you.

I promise to make memories with you.

I cannot wait to take you on little dates and make memories with you, my precious girl. I hope they are memories you will keep close to your heart, just as I will. I promise to give you memoirs filled with love, happiness, and fun. I imagine we will have endless laughter and adventure. The memories we make will be full of joy and special moments.

I promise to always be there for you.

No matter where we both are in life, always know I am here for you. Even when I’m far away from you, I’m never farther than a phone call away. I wish that I could stop you from seeing and experiencing all the negativity and ugliness of this world, but I can’t. What I can do is be here for you when you do experience it. I will always be waiting with open arms to help and support you. I may not be able to see you every day, but please know that you forever have a special place in my heart, and I will always be around to pick you up when you fall.

I promise to guide you in your faith.

I stood next to your parents and your Godfather at your Baptism as we all promised to raise you up in the Catholic faith and guide you on the path to holiness. And, here I promise again that I will help guide you in your faith so that you may grow up to love and follow the Lord with your whole heart. I hope I can help teach you to remain humble, be quick to forgive, and to always stay kind.

I promise to spoil you.

I have spoiled you with sweet girly things since you were in your Momma’s belly and it hasn’t really stopped. I have spoiled you with kisses, cuddles, and love since you were born, before I even knew you were my very own Godchild! I will continue to spoil you with love (and gifts, HEHE, because I can’t help it) until the end of time. I pray you never doubt my love for you, sweet girl.

I promise to always be your biggest fan.

Watching you accomplish things like sitting up, drinking from a cup, crawling, talking, and walking are so exciting for me! I will always be there cheering you on in your future endeavors and throughout all of your accomplishments. I’m so happy to have this opportunity as your Godmother to watch you grow into a talented and successful little lady.

I hope that as your Nanny I can be a good role model for you, my darling girl. My wish for you is that you always follow your dreams, remain your own wonderful you, always know that you are loved, and that you have a huge support system behind you.

Love, Nanny

xoxo
