If you really want to find out about agencies in your area, you could contact your local ACTRA office, they may have a list or at least be familiar enough to recommend a few.

It depends on where you live, but most newspapers and phone directories would have "Agencies" listed, you look for the acting/modeling section and ring the agencies from there. If your in Australia the newspapers have agencies listed in the casual section of the job search...don't know about over seas.\n\nHope this helps

Check newspapers for casting.  Also Try www.artshub.com and other industry sites.  Plus you could try and get a manager.

I manage a team and, assuming that the level of talent is about equal,\nI look for kids who are hard workers, good listeners, hustlers and give a great effort. Hope you do well!

well.. first start out with Children's theater or let him take classes so he will get use to the whole acting thing. If he is already doing this then look up agencies in your area. If you find one that you like then make an appointment to meet with them (bring other ppl along just in case something might happen if they are a fraud) and see what you think about that agency. Good luck with your soon-to-be-star son.\nsigned, broadwaybound

Good for you!\n\nA great site I used when I was younger to find volunteer activities is http://www.volunteermatch.org/ You can specifically search for things for kids when you choose advanced search.\n\nGood luck! :)

Try the Department of Protective and Regulatory Services for your state.  They should have a listing and rating for all licensed child care facilities

first_time_mommy_92506 has it exactly right.\n\nI used to work with the casting director at MCA Universal and what she told me is that no matter what the parent wants, if the child does not truly enjoy the experience, no casting agent will hire the child.\n\nShe told me a story of a little girl who was a fabulous model, but when the agency met her brother, the little boy was so unhappy, they told the mother they would not hire him.\n\nSo if your child thrives on this, then most reputable casting agents will at least grant an interview.\n\nAVOID any agency that asks you to pay money up front.  That's a scam.  \n\nCertainly start with the well known agencies - Ford, Wilhelmina, etc. but also research what catalog companies, like LL Bean do when they seek child models.

First, do some research so you know that the charity you're sending money to, really DOES use it to help the kids. Look for 'Not for Profit' charities. Then you can decide where to sponsor and know you're really helping someone.

I have good experiences with elance.com but it is costly to register and they take a cut of income too, it does have a massive audience and I have got both work and placed work with them.\n\nFind free sites using keyword search " free work agency " this one below has a 7 days trial for 2.95 which may be worth a try.

www.starfall.com\nIf you're looking for something different try this site. My 2.5 yr old son really likes it.  It has preschool through elementary school activities that are totally free. This site provides printable activities to match the online activities.\n\nAs listed above, www.playhousedisney.com, and www.nickjr.com are also good sites. There is also quite a bit on www.pbskids.org.  Another one to keep in mind (for a later date)would be www.handwritingforkids.com\n\nAlso if you don't already have it, buy your child some Fridge Phonics by LeapFrog. You can usually find it under $20. Your child will really enjoy it.
