Vivian Bissett Assistant Service Coordinator

Knowing who your back up will be is a great comfort and an even greater advantage that the clients enjoy at Nightingale's.
Daila Rickenbaugh Assistant Service Coordinator
Like we said before, everyone needs a helper! Ruby's assistant is this lovely lady with a heart of gold. If Ruby's the "mothering" sort, then Daila must be the "stepmom." She steps in as needed to assist with fill-ins and just good old-fashioned neighborly visits to our clients. She wants to be sure she's familiar with the clients and their needs in case they need emergency fill-in assistance. Always sitting on "ready to go," Daila visits the clients, not a desk. If you are having a problem, call Daila!

Nicole Buffer Assistant Service Coordinator (Charleston)
Nicole joined the Nightingale's family to help with the start up of the Charleston branch. Originally designated as a "runner", Nicole's dedication and hard work soon found her spending more time in the office helping all of the clients with coordination, than running for fill ins. Although she loves to spend time in the client homes and is always ready to hit the road if needed, she has really shown us all she can handle much more than hands on care. She can handle a busy office and do it with gusto!
Marijane Musgrave HR Generalist
