The day begins and ends at 180 degrees East, or thereabouts depending on some bends in the line to accommodate convenience. This is the line opposite Greenwich England where they set down the rules in 1850. Zero hours UTC is midnight in Greenwich, England, which is located at 0 degrees longitude.
But your question mentions 'DAY' and that means you are talking about the normal time kept by people all over the world. The International Date Line is the line that determines what day it is.
;-D In fact every time starts there and the last second of the day ends there, and a new day begins again there.

It depends.
If you're talking about Universal Time (UT), the place you're looking for would be Greenwich, England, where the prime meridian is located.
But if you're talking about the place on the earth that separates two consecutive calendar days, then perhaps the International Date Line would be a more appropriate answer. It is not a straight line by any means and can be changed locally, so the first place to reach midnight every day would be found close to the IDL.
Check out the USNO for more info. Also click the Kiribati link on the USNO page below for more info on places that would see midnight "first" every day.

There is no place, except beyond the Arctic and Antarctic Circles during the six weeks or so that they have 24 hours of sunlight. The world reaches 12 midnight at night.

at 16, the point of life is finding your purpose for living... and that purpose can be altered to fit your circumstances, or any circumstance. If the kids are too annoying, maybe turn on the T.V or get them to watch a movie. See if you can take the kids out... maybe babysit at the YMCA, coffee shop, or somewhere kid friendly, yet get out at the same time. I'm sure there can be some kind of compromise if you talk to their parents, since 3:00- midnight is such a huge time difference. The two year olds wouldn't want to be stuck inside the house that long either. If not, use the babysitting time for homework.

The International dateline runs through the Pacific. When you watch the New Years Eve show they show Australia first, because it is a major city, but the first place to reach midnight each day would be along the International Dateline.

Tonga.
They choose a timezone of GMT+13, meaning when it is noon Universal Time (GMT), it's already 1 a.m. tomorrow morning on Tonga.
I believe in the southern-hemisphere summer they keep Daylight Saving Time so as to stay 1 hour ahead of New Zealand, so then they're on GMT+14.
The International Dateline bends so that Tonga is west of it, but Samoa is east of it even though they're on a similar longitude. Samoa is on GMT -12, so it's the last place in the world to finish each day.

Greenwich England is home of the world's official time. Therefore, the official start of each day occurs there. Greenwich time is also known as Universal time.
