Independent work, on your terms
SWFL Amusements is a veteran-owned party rental company in Cape Coral. When we have more events than we can cover ourselves, we send setup and teardown jobs to a small network of independent contractors. You decide which jobs to take.
How it works
-
Apply
Fill out the short form below. It takes about two minutes.
-
Get approved
Pass a background check, send us a completed IRS Form W-9, and walk through our equipment and anchoring requirements once before your first job.
-
Pick your jobs
When a job opens, we text the network with the date, location, equipment and fee. Reply if you want it. If you're busy, just pass.
-
Do the job, get paid
Set up or tear down to the job sheet, send completion photos and your invoice, and get paid the same day.
The work
- Deliver, set up and anchor bounce houses, water slides, obstacle courses and party equipment at customer homes, churches, schools and community events.
- Come back at the end of the rental to deflate, clean, roll and load the equipment.
- Every job comes with a job sheet: the address, the equipment, the time setup must be complete, and the manufacturer's anchoring requirements.
- When setup is done, send a photo of every anchor point and the blower so we can confirm the job is complete.
- Most jobs fall on weekends. Weekday jobs come up too. Work is occasional, not steady.
What you need
- 18 years or older.
- Your own pickup truck, van or SUV that can carry a rolled inflatable. You cover your own fuel and vehicle costs.
- A valid driver's license and current auto insurance.
- Able to do physical work outdoors in Florida heat. Most rolled units weigh 150 to 300 pounds. We provide a hand truck. Our largest unit is about 750 pounds and is always a two-person job.
- Your own work gloves and a sledgehammer for driving stakes.
- A phone that can send texts and photos.
- A clean background check.
- A completed IRS Form W-9 and an invoice for each job.
Experience setting up inflatables, tents or event equipment is a big plus.

Common questions
- How much does a job pay?
- $75 to $250, depending on the size of the job. The fee is in the text we send you, before you accept.

- It varies. We send jobs to the network only when we have more events than we can cover. Don't count on this as a full-time income.
- Can I bring someone to help?
- Larger jobs are two-person jobs. You can team up with another approved contractor from the network. Everyone on site must be approved and background checked.
- How do I get paid?
