Student Jobs

We are a private household located in a serene, wooded environment near Madison. We value punctuality, proactive communication, and high standards of property care. We provide a professional, respectful, and well-documented working environment for students looking for significant responsibility and a beautiful place to live. In your application email, please mention the aspect of the position that appeals most to you.

Spring schedule is flexible but can include evening and weekend hours for events. Summer and Gap Year schedules are flexible but require availability for scheduled concerts and games.

This unique role evolves from a part-time trial (Spring 2026) into a residential stewardship position (Summer 2026 – Spring 2027). It is designed for a highly responsible student or recent graduate taking a gap year to focus on personal projects, grad school applications, or taking 1–2 prerequisite courses.

The Living Space (Starting Summer 2026): Live as the sole occupant of a brand-new, custom-built, standalone small house. This is a private, luxury retreat 20 minutes from campus. Rent and utilities are 100% covered.

• High-End Interior: Queen-size bed, fireplace, AC, and radiant heated floors.
• Spa Amenities: Rain-head shower and a deep soaking bathtub.
• Convenience: In-unit washer/dryer and a dedicated "Welcome Notebook" for easy operation.
• The Grounds: Set in the woods with a private 0.5-mile trail featuring art and poetry stands, plus a 6-person smokeless fire pit.

Key Responsibilities:

• Transportation: Chauffeur residents to UW-Madison Athletics, Overture Center performances, and other events using a provided luxury hybrid SUV.
• Spring Trial: 5–10 hours/week to ensure a great fit. A $25 travel stipend is paid per session during the spring trial period to cover your commute.
• Summer/Gap Year Residency: Move into a brand-new, standalone small house as the sole occupant (Rent & Utilities 100% covered).
• Property Stewardship: Optional part-time and full-time summer and gap year hours for trail maintenance, household logistics (deliveries/recycling), and occasional walks with a friendly small dog.
• Documentation: You will be supported by written instructions (a Welcome Guide and Property Maintenance Manual) to ensure total clarity on all tasks.

• Personal Traits: Must be exceptionally organized, cleanly, and punctual
• Driving: Valid driver’s license
• Legal: Authorized to work in the U.S. and willing to undergo a background check
• Mindset: A proactive "handy" mindset for light property maintenance is highly valued
