Answer
Hello,

“Guardian angel  protect me and my family always“  can be translated into Latin as follows:

1-“Angele Custos,  me  meamque semper protege familiam ”
or:
2-“Angele Dei, qui custos es mei,  me meamque semper protege familiam ”


Kind regards,
Maria

In the first translation:

-Guardian = CUSTOS
-Angel = ANGELE (vocative case)
-Protect= PROTEGE
-Me=ME
-and = -QUE (enclitic, i.e. a word attached to the end of another word to form a single unit. In this case -QUE is attached to MEAM ).
-my =MEAM
-family = FAMILIAM
-always=SEMPER

In the second translation:

-Guardian angel  = ANGELE DEI  QUI CUSTOS ES MEI (literally, Angel of God  who  are guardian   of me)
-Protect= PROTEGE
-Me=ME
-and = -QUE (enclitic)
-my =MEAM
-family = FAMILIAM
-always=SEMPER
Latin word order differs from English, as you can see.
