What Is a Jet Model?

Jet is a trusted clothing store in South Africa that caters to families looking for quality, everyday fashion. Jet Models are children and toddlers who are featured in seasonal promotions, online catalogues, printed adverts, and in-store campaigns. These campaigns showcase Jet’s wide range of clothing for:

Babies and toddlers
School-going children
Casual teen and youth wear
Family-oriented fashion themes

These modelling opportunities often involve catalogue shoots, billboard campaigns, and even short TV spots or social media content.

Age Categories for Jet Modelling Jobs

Jet runs clothing campaigns throughout the year, meaning children of various ages are regularly considered for shoots. Common categories include:

Baby modelling (0–24 months) for nappy, romper, and blanket ranges
Toddler and young children (2–6 years) for casual wear and schoolwear
Older kids (7–12 years) for coordinated sets and themed collections
Teen fashion (13–16 years) for youth branding and back-to-school ranges

Kids on Camera works with children across all age categories, ensuring they’re prepared and represented professionally when Jet launches its next casting call.

How to Become a Jet Model

If you’ve been asking how to become a Jet model, the process starts with joining a reliable casting agency that can connect you with the right opportunities. Here’s how we support the journey at Kids on Camera:

Registering with a Kids Modelling Agency in Johannesburg

Our agency offers simple registration for parents interested in modelling for clothing brands like Jet. Once your child is registered, we maintain their profile and ensure they’re presented for upcoming Jet casting calls when they arise.

Creating a Model Portfolio for Kids

A child’s modelling portfolio is essential when applying for Jet or other fashion brand roles. It should include:

Headshots and full-body images
Candid smiles and neutral expressions
Images in comfortable, everyday clothing
Recent photos that show your child’s current look

We offer in-house photoshoots that deliver everything needed for a high-quality modelling application.

Attending Jet Casting Calls

Your child may be invited to attend a Jet casting call, either in person or via video submission. Casting calls are usually held in Johannesburg, Cape Town, or Durban, though online auditions are becoming increasingly common.

Being prepared with your child’s latest photos, availability, and clothing sizes ensures a smoother process and improves their chances of selection.

What Jet Looks for in Child Models

Jet doesn’t only look at looks. They’re interested in children who can represent the warmth, energy, and joy of family life. Ideal traits include:

A happy and expressive face
Comfort in front of a camera
Ability to take direction with ease
Confidence in group settings
Natural movements and genuine reactions

Whether it’s for Jet baby modelling or toddler catalogue shoots, brands are drawn to children who bring personality to the campaign.

Building Confidence in Front of the Camera

Being a successful child model starts with confidence. Helping your child feel at ease in front of the lens ensures they’re more relaxed during auditions and better equipped to handle real shoots.

Try These Tips when Auditioning:

Arrange casual mock shoots at home or in a studio
Use fun games to encourage natural expression
Reassure your child and avoid creating pressure
Bring a toy or comfort item to auditions
Keep things fun and age-appropriate

We want the experience to be exciting, not stressful. A confident, smiling child stands out immediately during a casting process.

Setting Realistic Expectations

Even with all the right steps in place, not every audition leads to a booking. This is completely normal in the world of retail modelling.

Jet may receive hundreds of submissions for a single shoot. Being patient, consistently involved, and supportive will make all the difference.

Here’s what to remember:

Patience is key – many kids land jobs after several auditions
Consistency helps casting directors recognise returning faces
Auditions may depend on seasonal trends, like summer or school campaigns
Staying active improves your child’s experience and confidence

We remind parents that modelling is not just about being picked – it’s about gaining exposure, growing in skill, and having fun along the way.

Baby and Toddler Modelling with Jet

Jet regularly runs campaigns for infants and toddlers. These baby photoshoot opportunities often include items like:

Sleepwear and vests
Bibs and baby blankets
First-step shoes
Nappies and comfort clothing

If your child has a charming smile, bright eyes, and a calm temperament, they may be perfect for Jet baby model campaigns.

Kids on Camera ensures baby and toddler auditions are handled gently and professionally, with full support for parents and photographers alike.

Jet Model Application and Process

Jet doesn’t often take direct applications — instead, brands work through agencies to find candidates quickly and reliably.

Here’s how we make it easier:

We send your child’s portfolio directly to the brand’s casting team
We provide instructions for video or in-person casting
We help prepare for every stage of the audition
We notify you of new openings and casting call opportunities

You won’t miss a thing — we help you stay connected to the right jobs as they become available.

Faster access to last-minute castings
