Why "Big Toy" Stays

The house has the toys.
You make the magic.

Our guests don't book a house — they book the pool, the hot tub, the golf sim. Keeping those "big toys" spotless, safe and ready is the whole job. It's hospitality, aquatics and a little bit of showmanship.

Indoor pool Indoor heated pool

The "Kidquarium"

A real indoor pool with a viewing window, open 24/7, 365 days a year — even in a Wisconsin January.

Outdoor hot tub Outdoor hot tub

The hot tub

Crystal-clear water, perfect chemistry, steam rising off the deck at check-in. You'll learn to keep it that way.

Golf simulator Golf simulator

The golf sim

A full simulator room guests play at 2 a.m. Calibrated, clean and collision-free — that's your work showing.

Why you'll like it here

Serious standards.
Genuinely good place to work.

We can teach the skills — the processes, the water chemistry, the staging. What we hire for is the heart: people who actually care about doing it right.

Trained from zero

No pool, hot-tub or smart-home experience? Good. We train you our way — your first shift is side-by-side with the owner, and it's paid.

Play where you work

Free use of the indoor pool, hot tub and golf simulator when the house isn't booked. Yes, really.

Zero out-of-pocket

All supplies, tools and equipment live at the house. Purchases run through our Amazon and Walmart Business accounts — you never front a dollar. Bring only your smartphone.

Hours that fit real life

School-hours shifts (9–3), evening enhancer windows (3–5), or flexible pool visits you schedule. On-call means you choose the shifts that fit.

Room to grow

Lead the turnover crew, master aquatics, earn an owner-funded CPO certification — or help co-build a pool-care business with us.

Local & proud

We hire within ~10 minutes of Twin Lakes on purpose. This house becomes your baby — close enough to care for it like your own.

How hiring works

Three steps between you
and a paid first shift.

We hire for heart and train for skill — so the application is about showing us how you think, not a résumé parade. Candidates who finish these steps get invited to a paid, onsite onboarding with Mike, the owner.

1

Apply in two minutes

Hit "Apply" on a role below. It opens a short form that lands directly with Mike — no portal, no black hole. You'll get a confirmation email immediately.

2

Get your Slack invite + at-home challenge

We'll email you a Slack invite — that's how our team communicates. Then a small hands-on challenge: pool candidates log a practice test in the Pooli app; turnover and enhancer candidates enhance one room at home, posting a photo and caption for each fix.

3

Paid onsite onboarding

We do the actual job together at the property — turnover, staging, water testing, the whole run-of-show. You leave knowing exactly what great looks like. Paid, obviously.

Quick answers

The stuff everyone asks.

Do I need cleaning or pool experience?

No. We hire for heart and train for skill — processes, water chemistry, staging, the apps, all of it. Your first shift is worked side-by-side with the owner and it's paid.

What does "1099 independent contractor" mean for me?

You're not an employee — you're a contractor. You control which shifts you accept, you handle your own taxes (you'll complete a W-9), and we provide everything except a capable smartphone. Many people love the flexibility; if you want a traditional W-2 job, this isn't it.

How close to Twin Lakes do I need to live?

Within about a 10-minute drive of the property (1213 W Main St, Twin Lakes, WI 53181). Some visits are 20 minutes; others run 2+ hours — we've found anything further isn't worth your drive, so we keep it local.

What apps do I need?

Slack (team messaging) for everything, Pooli for logging pool water tests, plus a couple of checklist and smart-home apps. All free — we'll walk you through each one during onboarding. A reliable, current smartphone is the only equipment you provide.

Is this full-time?

No — these are part-time roles (roughly 2–20 hours/week depending on the role and bookings). They're ideal for stay-at-home parents, semi-retired folks, real-estate/hospitality people, or anyone wanting meaningful work close to home. The PCM role carries the most hours and is the steadiest.

What's the "trust, but verify" thing about?

After the turnover crew finishes, our Guest Readiness Enhancers come through for a fresh-eyes verification pass before guests arrive. Feedback is immediate, direct and ego-free — it's how we keep the 5-star bar. If direct feedback energizes you, you'll fit right in.
