Nana comes from a rich merchant family. Her full name is Anna Taylor, but the young children in her charge always call her 'Nana.' She is not nobility, but her parents raised her in style in the city of London. She went to finishing school, but never wanted to push herself into the upper levels of society. She was content just being a governess and living on the fringes of it.
Nana has never had time to be in a relationship, but she understands what people in love do not because she is an unbiased observer. Her position as a servant has allowed her insight into both men and women that others don't take the time to learn.
Nana was The Radford's governess until Beatrice (Emily's youngest sister) turned 11 years old and went to finishing school. Then, Nana found a position in another household, but She and Emily continued to exchange letters. Nana's latest position was coming to an end when Emily asked her to become a lady's maid.
Nana is more of a city person and being in the country is a new and not altogether pleasant experience for her. However, she enjoys Emily's company.
