Young children from 2 to 12 can join our modelling agency and become our star junior models, flying high with illustrious brands and companies. Models Direct is proud to be headlining our youngsters and keeping them busy with varied work, much different to their daily routine.
If you’re thinking about your child joining you as an existing female or male adult model or as a new model, then you’re probably wondering if they’ll be suitable for the profession altogether. Let’s take a quick dive into seeing if they’ll be model-ready with Models Direct.
Comfort level
One of the first areas we look at, and a particularly important one at that, is your child’s comfort level. So, the questions to ask yourself would be:
Does my child feel comfortable being around new people?
Do they feel comfortable being in different environments?
Do they feel confident in themselves?
Do they feel comfy in front of the camera lens?
If you answered yes to the majority of these questions, then your child might be ready to move up to the next level.
- Diversity and Modelling with Models Direct
- Am I too old to apply for modelling work?
- How Do I Know if My Child is Suitable for Modelling?
- Modelling in 2025
- How to Make the Most Out of January 2025
But remember, if they aren’t so confident you can always go ahead and put in an application for them and see how it goes.
If your child feels unsure or anxious, we’ll accommodate and start them off with a small campaign so the process doesn’t feel overwhelming.
Patience and focus
Two challenging factors for children are their patience and ability to stay focused. Both can be very tricky to manage when work needs to be accomplished and time is pressing. Depending on their age, these factors will fluctuate, meaning there will be phases where their patience and focus levels rise and dip.
Enjoyable moments
Finally, will your child enjoy the experience? This is usually a knock-on effect from the previous points, but will your junior like the modelling world with MD? Only time will tell of course, but it’s good to decipher this before they get into the booking system.
If you think your child’s ready for junior modelling, talk to them about it and see if they would like to try it out. Granted, the younger they are, the more difficult it will be to ask this with a confirmed response, but it’s important to keep communication channels open and honest.
Our child models have enjoyed a multitude of varied modelling assignments, including Zainah on her magical Disney collaboration and Sienna on her TOFT campaign. Read their respective feedback below!
Zainah’s mum shared this recount:
“When I signed my daughter up, the process was very easy and smooth, I was very much in the loop every step of the way. Within a few months, my daughter was offered her first assignment, which was great!
I was over the moon as it was so fast, plus it was for a global kids company. The assignment was well explained to me, and I knew exactly what I needed to do as Claire kept me posted very frequently.
On the day of the assignment, I met with the team who were all lovely and welcoming to both me and my child. It was a very great experience, and my daughter had the time of her life representing her favourite character. We would definitely recommend models direct as we have had nothing but a positive experience since signing up, and we are sure there will be more to come.”
Sienna’s mum left us with this lovely review:
“Sienna had so much fun at the shoot. They were really friendly and it was a nice, child-friendly, relaxed atmosphere with plenty of breaks. The products were lovely and Sienna really enjoyed them. They made her feel very comfortable.”
