I briefly worked with Heather through Aya while trying to secure a contract in CA while living in MA. She was extremely helpful and communicative--everything I'd want in a recruiter.When she was on leave she set me up with someone in her absence who was equally as great about following up.It's so important as a recruiter to match your traveler's urgency when trying to secure a time sensitive job and I feel like Heather definitely put me at ease in feeling like landing my contract was just as important to her as it was to me.While I ended up taking a staff position and moving to CA permanently, I do not regret reaching out to work with Aya as an agency and I highly recommend Heather as a recruiter!

I have so many incredible things to say about my experience with AYA wow. I was on the fence about leaving my staff job. I was recommended to work with Melanie Stark. I was a travel nurse for almost 3 years. Had awful experiences with other companies. Melanie was heaven sent. She made me feel sooo comfortable exploring new places where I had never been before. She got me the best hospitals and I actually continued to extend until I couldn’t anymore. I felt safe and even when my contract was over she would make sure I always had a job. She held my hand and walked me through everything. If you are as fortunate as I was you will give AYA a chance but also get yourself an amazing recruiter like Melanie, I cannot say how happy I was to take the step and sign up with them. Extremely recommended.

I can’t say enough great things about working with Brooke Kirkpatrick. She is an awesome recruiter who was always on top of things in preparation for a contract. She is clear on your next steps, a go getter, and always in contact with updates. She’s also a gem of a human, very personable, funny, and a delight to work with. Brooke made my experience with Aya 10/10. To any nurses out there, thinking of traveling, ask for Brooke with Aya!

I worked with Megan Phillips who was simply outstanding. She always responded quickly to my questions and directed me to the correct people for other concerns. She was interested in my family and about meeting my needs. Thank you Megan!!!

I cannot say enough amazing things about Monica Hamilton, my Aya Healthcare travel nurse recruiter, and her incredible assistant, Kennedy. From the very beginning, they have gone above and beyond to make my travel nursing journey as smooth and stress-free as possible. Their professionalism, responsiveness, and genuine care are unmatched.Monica truly listens and works tirelessly to find assignments that align with my goals and preferences. She’s not just a recruiter she’s a guide, a cheerleader, and a problem solver all rolled into one. Kennedy is equally amazing, always there to assist with the details and ensure nothing falls through the cracks. Together, they make an unbeatable team.I am beyond grateful for their support, patience, and kindness. They’ve not only made my travel experiences seamless but have also made me feel valued and supported every step of the way. Monica and Kennedy, thank you both from the bottom of my heart you’re the best in the business!If you’re a travel nurse looking for a recruiter who truly cares and delivers results, Monica Hamilton and Kennedy are the dream team. I’m so lucky to have them in my corner!

Highly recommend Lindsey and Angie! My first experience with Aya Healthcare has been incredibly positive thanks to this amazing team. They worked efficiently to place my travel spouse and me in a position quickly after we applied to jobs. Their responsiveness and dedication stood out, and we’ve already extended our contract twice. Truly a great experience!

I had the best recruiter ever Ali Zane and I will come back and request her again as my recruiter. She is very caring, compasionate. Always make sure you are ok and on top of that send you text messages every Friday to wish you a good weekend 😊. Ali, thanks a lot for assisting and guiding me during my travel assignment with Aya. You always make sure that things go smoothly and in a timely manner. Unfortunately I have to stop for some family reasons but will be back soon with you again.

I’ve worked with multiple travel agencies and Aya Healthcare has been the best! My recruiter Ali Zane is so helpful and genuine, she’s always staying ahead on what I need for requirements and paperwork and makes transitioning from contracts easy. Ali was recommended to me and I’ve been so happy with my decision!
