The first day of my career as an artist…Daycare Day 1.
Posted by Caroline Valpied on
All parents are going to relate to this one…it’s the night before the big day, in our case DAYCARE DAY 1! Who wakes up at midnight and then DOES NOT GO TO SLEEP FOR 3 HOURS??? It was a perfect storm of bin night, husband on school camp and anxious mother. Finally, I gave up and snuggled the little darling into my bed (reality – baby eventually falls asleep sideways and I cling to the edge of the bed waking up with a jolt every so often to check he hasn’t crawled off the side).
Fast forward a few long hours and we get up and get to daycare. Unlike most parents (I’ve been led to believe) I had actually been looking forward to daycare. I imagined long, blissful, coffee-fuelled hours of painting, carefree in the knowledge my sweet child was loving life playing with new friends and toys. This is what actually happened…
We arrive and while I’m waffling to an educator about ideal naptimes, Sal has pinched another child’s yogurt pouch and squirted it all over the floor. I rush to clear it up and sort of tell him off while saying a fumbled goodbye, rushing out the door before I burst into tears…but I hear him burst into tears before the room door even swings shut and it’s TERRIBLE!
At home I listlessly shove a load of paint at the canvas, hate it, call the daycare centre (newsflash: Sal has been, “A little upset,” a.k.a. in floods of tears, like I couldn’t have guessed that, call back in an hour). So what do I do? I do what any sensible person would do. I go to bed. Apart from when I rang to call daycare (again) to check on Sal, I slept until 12.30pm. Then I called again, and then one more time, then I went and got him.
My first day as a working artist felt like a total failure, but if there’s one thing I’ve learnt as a mother over the past year, it’s to not be too hard on myself. I had unrealistic expectations – I was probably never going to whip up a masterpiece in a couple of hours on three hours sleep while my baby made lifelong besties. First day of daycare was tough for both Sal and I, but it was a baby step in the right direction. I will still conquer the art world and my baby WILL love daycare – watch this space!

In early 2024, I was desperate for a breakthrough. After losing my job during a company downsizing, I turned to investing hoping to grow my savings into something that could give me a second chance. That’s when I came across what looked like a golden opportunity: a high yield crypto investment platform that promised guaranteed returns and had glowing testimonials plastered all over social media. I did my due diligence or so I thought. The website was sleek. The customer support was responsive. They even had a fake interview with someone posing as a Forbes analyst. Everything felt real. So I invested. First, $10,000. Then, when I saw “profits” accumulating in my dashboard, I added more. Within 3 months, I had poured in $144,000 my entire life savings. Then one morning, I logged in and everything was gone. The site was offline. The Telegram group vanished. No emails were being returned. It hit me like a freight train I had been scammed. I couldn’t eat. I couldn’t sleep. My anxiety spiraled. I had let my guard down and now I was broke. I felt like a complete failure. That’s when someone in a victim support forum mentioned Malice Cyber Recovery. Honestly, I was skeptical. At that point, I didn’t trust anyone. But after reading more about their work helping people recover funds from crypto scams and wire fraud, I decided to reach out. From the very first consultation, they treated me with compassion not as just another case. They walked me through their digital forensic process, asked for wallet addresses, email trails, and even identified the offshore exchange that was laundering the stolen funds. To my shock, within eight weeks, they managed to track and recover nearly 80% of my lost money about $114,000. They even worked with legal authorities to freeze the remaining assets tied to the wallet that scammed me. It wasn’t just about the money it was about reclaiming my life. Without them, I’d still be stuck in that dark place, full of guilt and shame. I know many people don’t believe recovery is possible, but Malice Cyber Recovery gave me hope and they delivered. To anyone who’s been scammed and thinks it’s over: don’t give up. There is help out there. Just make sure it’s the right kind and for me, that was Malice.
