Brenda Ashford

Brenda Ashford is the quintessential British nanny. Prim and proper, gentle and kind, she seems to have stepped straight out of Mary Poppins. For more than six decades Nanny Brenda swaddled, diapered, dressed, played with, sang to, cooked for, and looked after more than one hundred children.

It is 1945, the war is finally over and Brenda's skills as a real life Mary Poppins are in demand again. Brenda never stays long, but just enough time to sprinkle a little magic and happiness, never giving up on her quest to help the most troubled homes, changing hundreds of children's lives forever.
