This is a magical being who's in charge of a group of children, whether as a [[MagicalNanny nanny]], [[CoolTeacher teacher]], or some other form of custodian. Has some overlap with the MagicalNanny, but while a MagicalNanny is focused on improving family dynamics and behavior and may or may not be really magic, a MagicalGuardian is really magic and may or may not do anything about behavior and family. They may instead use their powers for the more broad purpose of education, or even just for the pure sake of adventure. Having this character around allows children to get up to all kinds of impossible and wacky hijinks without audiences wondering [[ParentalAbandonment where the parents are]].

* ''Film/NannyMcPhee'', and its sequel ''Film/NannyMcPheeAndTheBigBang'', feature the magical Nanny [=McPhee=], and uses them to take care of naughty children, teaching them five lessons that they need to learn, and helping them behave. However, she is not just a MagicalNanny, since she also uses her magical powers to help the family, whether that be to teach the parents lessons that they also need to learn, or to help out if the family is in trouble.

* The title character in ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse'' is primarily raised by three [[spoiler: aliens]] who have fantastical powers and train him to harness his own powers by taking him on missions. In the first season they often wave off their abilities as "magic", [[spoiler: though as the show goes on it becomes apparent that it's not magic but super advanced technology, leaning more into a sci-fi bent than pure fantasy]].
