Pros

The flexible hours were exactly what I needed so that I could make my rent while still going to auditions. The pay was weekly and direct deposit. The policies ensure that you are treated fairly and don't get taken advantage of by the families. There was at least one time where I know the family never paid, but the agency still paid me. Doing art with kids can be a lot of fun.

Cons

You don't always know how many hours you are going to get each week and so it can be hard to budget. The office is very communicative but most of the calls are when they need something. While a majority of the clients are great some of them are not very nice. If you are not willing to take last minute appointments you will miss out on a lot of work.

Pros

Benefits of setting availability schedule is a super plus,

Cons

Appointments often made within 24 or 48 hours notice. If you list yourself as "available" you HAVE to work or you'll get a demerit, and after 3 you're fired. Very strict policies regarding cancelling a "booking". You will run into some truly crazy New York parents. A friend of me had a baby gate thrown at her by a client. I personally had to take care of very sick children (then getting sick myself). Disclaimer: Though it's technically in their policy to tell you if the children are sick, but most parents forget to provide that information. 1099 contract - you're going to have to pay tax on whatever you make come tax season. $13 starting wage - a bit low considering the company's employment requirements and how much they make off of you (client pays) $27-$35 per hour). Get $0.50 raise for passing specific tests on written material, making roughly $15/hour after completing all tests.
