Uglydolls are the hottest collectibles today; both kids and adults are always on the lookout for the latest editions. Each doll is handmade and has their unique individual personalities. Created by David Horvath and Sun-Min Kim, they play up to the ugly theme with cute but monstrous design features like having 3 eyes, or just one eye, or snaggly teeth, or tentacles.

I have my personal favorites and its a satisfying feeling that no other people share the same doll as mine.

Abima

Abima is out of control! Hes got his hand in the cookie jar, and his mind on the next adventure, which is probably going to involve bouncing off the walls and knocking over expensive stuff. He only knocks over the expensive stuff. Not to worry though. This adorable doll is very protective and would always watch out for you.

Babo

Babo will protect you and what Babo lacks in mind power, he makes up for in love. Hes everybodys best friend. He will stick with you to the end and when something scary happens, he will send you a nice greeting card from wherever it is he runs away to. A very curious, mischievous creature, Babo may need some guidance and parenting, so make sure to bring him with you to as many places as possible.

Deer Ugly

Deer Ugly lives in the forest where its nice and quiet. But deep down, hes thinking: Please take me home with you! The nice quiet forest is great, but Deer Ugly wants to see the world...YOUR world! He wants to explore the fantastic places you frequent. Like that room with the desk and computer?

Cinko

This adorable doll fears the water. The best way to keep Cinko calm is to sit him down next to you to watch TV. Watch something about dry stuff. Maybe sit him on a towel. Those are dry. Or tell him your best joke.

Every newbie need good babysitting tips. Taking care of other peoples children or babies are not always as easy as it seems. Here are some good points to remember on your first few stints as a babysitter.

Know Your Limits

If you want to be an effective babysitter, this is one thing you need to establish. You have to find out for example which age bracket you would be most comfortable with. Different skills are needed for different ages of kids. You can well imagine that taking care of infants and toddlers would involve a lot more patience and effort than watching over bigger kids. If you think you cannot handle the job, do not consider applying for it.

Get to Know Your Charges

Before you start babysitting, ask questions about your charges. One important thing to find out is if any of the kids under your care have medical conditions. This will help you prepare the kinds of food or medications that are required. Knowing about the kids conditions will also help you plot an emergency plan that you can follow should problems arise.

Each child is unique. Aside from medical conditions, it would also be a good idea to ask parents about the characteristics of each child. This may help you deal better with each kid especially when it comes to discipline.

Enroll in Relevant Short Courses

Be ready for any emergencies. One way to ensure this is to enroll in relevant classes. Such classes include basic first aid and emergency preparedness. Having these in your resume will help recommend you even more to a potential employer. More importantly, these short courses will also equip you with the right skills to respond to real emergencies when they arise. You could be the key to saving a childs life under your care.

Stay Attentive

Some sitters though tend to believe that they will always stay attentive. Sometimes this is harder said than done. There may be some personal circumstances that may make babysitting difficult. You could for example be exhausted from another side job or from school. This can make paying attention to kids a little tough. It would help if you only accepted sitting tasks on hours that you know arent tiring for you. Never baby sit if you know you cant keep your eyelids from drooping.

Keep All Important Numbers Ready

Even if you do have certificates in special courses, there may be some situations you may not be able to handle. This is why you should always have important numbers within reach. These include numbers of hospitals, poison control, fire department and the like. You should also have the mobile phone numbers of the kids parents.

Babysitting tips come in handy when you are alone with the kids. These are only a few of them. There are many others that you may have to learn. These basic tips however are more than enough to help you make a good start at babysitting.
