List of Modeling Agencies for Kids
Modeling agencies represent models for work in print, television and film. Agencies that specialize in children work closely with both you and your child to promote his career. A children's agent should communicate well with a child and answers a parent's questions. Child agencies can be found locally, regionally, nationally and worldwide; however, parents of child models should find a local agency to represent them when they begin their career.
