They call her Nanny.

And you should tune in

when her grands are around.

She talks, she laughs,

she’s silly, she is engaging,

She is Nanny.

Very present and

very interested in whatever.

“I want hot cocoa Nanny.

Don’t forget the sprinkles on top.”

“Can I have more popcorn?”

“Can I play on your iPad?”

And “yes” every time.

A thousand yeses, and more.

Cause, she is Nanny.

She is trusted,

she holds secrets,

she gives advice.

She cares.

She’s Nanny.

I stand amazed at your goodness,

I stand in awe of your relationship

with your grands.

And I hear the most important

words you could ever utter.

“I love you”,

and they know you do.

For you are Nanny.

I call you ‘Honey’, ‘Babe’, My Love.

Your kids call you ‘Mom’.

Your friends call you Carolyn.

Your students call you Ms. Carolyn.

And your grands call you Nanny.

You are one of a kind.

You are loved,

by all of us.
