Finding a nanny or family is often overwhelming. Families scroll through endless profiles, while nannies face irrelevant or unreliable requests. Many matches are made based on photos rather than compatibility, leading to frustration and unfair experiences.
NuNu addresses this by:
Prioritizing needs, availability, and personality over images;
Reducing unwanted messages with mutual matching;
Offering calendars and interview scheduling;
Providing support groups for community connection.
Through surveys and interviews with parents and nannies in Vancouver, we discovered:
Families value reliability and compatibility above looks;
Nannies want safety, trust, and supportive connections;
Scheduling conflicts are a recurring challenge;
Many welcomed a personality-first, streamlined approach.
NuNu ensures a safe, fair, and efficient matching process for families and nannies. Users complete a personality and needs assessment to guarantee compatibility. Nannies upload references and criminal record checks, while families share details about their children, requirements, and references if available. All criminal records are reviewed by the NuNu team, funded through a family subscription that also keeps the app ad-free. Once matched, both sides can schedule interviews directly within the app for a seamless and trustworthy experience.
NuNu was inspired by lived nanny experience and built through teamwork and research. Designing with empathy led to a prototype that solves real challenges for both parents and nannies. Hands-on experience as a nanny directly informed the design decisions. The project highlights the value of fair, thoughtful UX design in creating meaningful digital products.
