Modeling question for children?

Question

How do I find a reputable management or talent company to represent my child in the NY metro area?

Do they all charge a fee? I've met with two already and the first one wanted me to pay for photos and didn't really represent the child. The second one said I have to pay $599.00 for them to represent my child for five years.

Someone with a child in the industry, please help me with this question. Thanks.

My mother is the one who knows lots about children's showbiz...but she is not here right now and there is not that much time left to answer your question... Check out the backstage.com and its message board. You can ask questions there. There is showfax.com too but my mother said that many of people who live in NY use backstage and people in CA check showfax.

She also said that most of the companies who charge to represent your child are scams. My little sister has an agency and they collect fees only when she books and does a job.
