Did the family have young kids? If so, maybe they didn't properly handle her? Would you be able to contact that family to see if you get some background on her? Not trying to say that family was abusive to her so don't get me wrong.
Since you said she does it once in a while, maybe you could monitor to see what triggers her nipping when you pet her. For example, both of you are facing forward and you decide to pet her where she didn't see your hand coming. Or if it's a sudden movement. It could be that she just doesn't want to be petted sometimes like Cha0t1c says.
Also, if you brought her recently, it'll take time for her to get used to things (again, like Cha0t1c mentioned) so just be patient with her and she'll come around. In the meantime, I suggest you give her a treat every time you pet her. If she nips, firm NO or yelp really loud and no treat.
Please post a picture of her! Would love to see her cute face!
