Meet the Founders Behind the Fun
Robert and Stephanie Manka
We’re Robert and Stephanie Manka, a husband-and-wife team. Married in 2011 and blessed with three wonderful children, our family is the heart behind Jump for Joy Rentals. LLC.
With strong faith in God as our foundation, we’re passionate about serving our community through joyful, family-friendly events. Stephanie leads the business with a background in accounting and marketing, while Robert brings hands-on knowledge of inflatables and exceptional management skills. Together, we believe in doing business with integrity, kindness, and a whole lot of heart.
When you rent from us, you’re not just hiring a company — you’re working with a real family who cares about making your event as special as possible. Whether we’re helping a family celebrate a birthday or partnering with a local school or church, our goal is to make every event memorable and stress-free.
Service Area
We proudly serve North Platte and surrounding communities in central Nebraska and the northeast corner of Colorado, including: Hershey, Sutherland, Maxwell, Brady, Gothenburg, Stapleton, Curtis, Grant, Ogallala, Kearney, Cozad, Lexington, Paxton, McCook, Wallace, Thedford, and Julesburg.
Not sure if we can deliver to you? Just ask — we’re always happy to see if we can make it work.
Safety and Sanitation Standards
We treat safety like it’s part of the fun — because it is! Every rental is:
Cleaned and Sanitized after every use
Inspected for Safety before delivery
Set up and Secured to meet industry standards
We also provide clear instructions for safe use so everyone can enjoy themselves worry-free.
For us, this business isn’t just about rentals — it’s about giving our community more reasons to gather, connect, and celebrate. It’s about creating moments families will cherish for years. Take a peek at our behind the scenes photo gallery.
