Drew: And then you get up there and do this thing that goes viral and wild afterwards because you thanked your nanny.

Melanie: Yeah, I was kind of surprised that it became a thing afterwards because when I think about the people who are the biggest part of my life and make it possible for me to work, it’s my husband and my nanny, she’s just the coolest person in the world and she works so hard and how lucky am I that I have a person like that taking care of my child so I can really go to work and concentrate and not be worried, what a fortunate thing.

Drew: Melanie I think you might have really opened a new door for all of us women to acknowledge people in our inner circle in a different way and I thank you for that.

Melanie: Thank you so much for saying that.

Jessica: I fully agree. I think what a beautiful thing to do and there’s no way my life either would exist without the two wonderful nannies that take care of my beautiful kids so thank you Melanie and thank you to everyone out there whose making everyone else’s life possible outside of the house, we could not do it without the support teams that we have, impossible, and we shouldn’t be ashamed to tell the truth about that.
