CELEBRATING ANIMATION FAMILIES
For National Parents’ Day on July 25th, we chatted with moms Estrella and Kim Capin about life with daughter Ellie & doggo Lola. Estrella is an editor on Spongebob Squarepants, a 14 year veteran at Nickelodeon, and a proud union member of IATSE Local 700.

Our daughter was born at the end of Nov, 2019...Covid hit in March...making it possible to be home and spend tons more time with her than we ever dreamed possible. Being present for those first milestones is something we'll always appreciate. Working from home the last year and a half has been difficult and amazing. My wife is a graphic designer with a demanding, hands-on kind of job. And as an editor, I'm used to being all alone about 90% of the time, so I really miss the social aspect of being at work…[Nickelodeon] still feels like my happy place.

Raising a girl in this world seems like the most important job I'll ever have. Making sure she's aware, while trying to protect her is a tricky task. Right now she's this sweet little sponge that hasn't experienced loss or tragedy. I feel extreme personal pressure to make sure she has all the necessary tools to navigate through life on her own someday. OK, she's only 19 months old, but these are already the thoughts in my head. Luckily, my wife is amazing in every aspect of parenting, and doing it together has only brought us closer. We can't forget our 11 year-old pup that has loved having us home, but still not sold on the toddler. Baby steps.
