Founder & Lead Pediatric Provider

Hi! I’m Afton — mom of three, pediatric nurse practitioner, and the hands and heart behind every Little Spuds visit. I started Little Spuds because I saw a real need for simplified, accessible care for kids.

With over 20 years in pediatric healthcare, including pediatric ER, urgent care, and hospital critical care, I bring both clinical expertise and compassion to every home visit. I’m here to make sure families feel supported, informed, and confident in their child’s care — all from the comfort of home.

“Afton, of Little Spuds, was a God-send. Our daughter got really sick while we were out of town, and continued to get worse. We contacted Afton, and once she came and examined and treated our daughter, we had complete relief; and can I mention the ease of her coming to you? Our daughter recalls being treated so gently and was reassured that she would soon start to feel better. I would recommend Afton to anyone that I know; professional and selfless care-giving at its finest.”

“Afton was amazing! I wanted to take my daughter to the doctor for an illness, when I called they didn't have any time to see her. I remembered Little Spud Pediatric was now open! I went to the link and filled out the appointment form and with in minutes Afton called me and then was on her way over. My daughter and I thought she covered everything and did a great job. Being able to get care in the comfort of your own home was the best experience. I would 100% recommend Little Spuds Pediatric!”

“Afton is incredible! From quick responses to thorough follow-up, we felt so well taken care of during a scary asthmatic time for my kids. The ability to have her come to our house and treat the kids in their own space was amazing. She made my kids feel calm and comfortable while really looking at the whole picture of their health. To no have to sit in a waiting room or even a line at the pharmacy, she is worth her weight in gold! I highly recommend Afton!”
