Question
how do i find a legit model agency for my 2 yr old little girl?

Answer
There are a couple of things you can try.  There are a number of modeling agency directories available in your local library, bookstore or online, or on newsstands in Los Angeles and New York City.  You will need to make sure that the agencies you are interested in represent children of your daughter's age, and most agencies now have websites that will give you that information.  The other thing you could do would be to pick up one of the books written about child modeling.  Quite often they contain an agency list, specifically for children's modeling agencies or agencies that have a children's division.
Good luck to you,

Specifically, the requirements, what is needed, how to find an agent, what they look for, how to avoid scams, the difference between what a commercial model does, and a fashion model, would travel/relocation be required, what is on a comp card and in your portfolio.

Experience

Both my acting and modeling resume/portfolio is available online on my website. I am a member of the Screen Actors Guild, and also have available my actor's demo reel and voice-over demo online. I founded both the Florida-Models.com and Florida-Actors.com websites, which provide free modeling and acting info to the public. I have moved into directing, producing and screenwriting - and have won awards for my writing. I have worked in the industry as both a model and actress in Florida, New York City and Los Angeles until October 2007. I now reside in Europe.
