I would bet you look great... However, since you can use the computer - I don't know if your intelligence level will set you apart from the other children...

Here is the brief Mini-Seminar:
I would suggest you start with a local talent agency. Getting into the "big leagues" is a different animal which can require quite a committment on your part.

Some of the basics are:
How attatched is the infant to the parent?
How well does the infant deal with adults other than the parent handling him/her?
How does the parent feel about letting the child be touched and handled by others?


Now: Get some great pictures of your childs different moods and styles. Have them ready for an Agent to review, and start marketing.

Making phone calls, sending emails, doing the follow-ups, etc...

You are the Parent and Designated Driver. In some ways you will also be the Agent. Can you remain calm when your child starts to cry or gets frustrated? How about when the child needs to be changed in the middle of a set-shot and the Photog or Director is screaming; "Get this kid away from me, I'll never work with children again..."?

Children are cute for a short period of time, and their ability to be on-screen/on-set is also limited by the age of the child.

Are you sure YOU are ready for this? If so, get a good Agent in a Medium to large market - and good luck.
