Try this article from BizParentz about babies in the biz. Most agencies in LA do not rep babies at all...they work through baby managers who "freelance" the babies to several agencies.

Also..do NOT, under any circumstances, pay for an opportunity to meet an agent. Don't answer ads on craigslist. There are some big scams out there in relation to babies. Don't fall for them.

Try Major Minors Management they work with Osbrik and TAG. Osbrink and TAG do not take on babies but they do work with Major Minors Management. When My daughter was an infant we were with Major Minors, one audition we would be going under Osbrink and then the next TAG it really depended on the audition. Osbrink and TAG usually pick up children at age 4.

Thanks for the info so far. But I'm curious about managers. I know agents take 10%, so will the manager's rate be on top of that?

My cousin's 3 children are all with JetSet. The youngest being less than a year old. Her kids do tv and print thru JetSet. The infant has had the most success of the three kids actually LOL.

Good Luck

The word I here is JetSet is not as strong over here on the west coast as it was 5 or 6 yrs ago. East coast they may be very strong. I heard Lindsey (a major player) over here left to start her own agency. Plus Jet Set is based in San Diego. That's what I hear anyways, I could be wrong. I do know when my DD was an infant I checked them out, went to there office in which they shared space with a surf school, that kinda turned me off. I thought if they are so successful why are they sharing space with a surf school. Anywhoo, that was a long time ago.

Oh ok...my cousin's 3 daughters signed with them this year. Yea their office is in San Diego but the kids get sent to LA for work/go-sees. The infant has been on 3 tv shows and a big Johnson & Johnson ad campaign as well. I'm in NY and only go off of my family member's experience and I dont know anyone else signed with modeling agencies in CA. Good Luck with your choice.

Try Youth Talent Connection in Tustin. Heather is really nice and her kids seem to get lots of work.
