Dylan Dreyer woke up to a new reality.

As a working mom who shares sons Calvin, 9, Oliver, 6, and Rusty, 4, with ex Brian Fichera, the Today co-host reflected on the doubt she faced about returning to her job shortly after giving birth.

“I went right back to work after my oldest was 3 months old,” Dreyer said on the June 11 episode of her podcast The Parent Chat, noting she had built a “village” of helpers including a nanny, her mom and her mother-in-law. “I loved my nanny. But I remember when Calvin was a baby, maybe like 4 or 5 months, and he would only want her.”

The 44-year-old added, “I was home a lot. I work a schedule where I can be home by 11 o’clock in the morning, I was there to cook dinner, but he preferred her.”

But while Dreyer’s concerns were valid, her guest Connie Simpson—known as “Nanny Connie” because of her celebrity client list including Emily Blunt, Matt Damon and Justin Timberlake—gave her an alternate perspective.
