The FLUI Hackathon is an annual 3-day event hosted at Emily Carr University in Vancouver. Participants collaborate in small teams to redesign websites for real-world clients seeking a fresh digital presence.
With only one brief client meeting and a minimal style guide provided, our team quickly adapted to deliver a complete concept under tight time constraints.
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.
ParPro’s original site relies on stock imagery and lacked visual cohesion, making it hard for users to quickly understand services.

This hackathon pushed us to design under pressure, balancing user needs with business goals, all while juggling classes and assignments. Testing with real users confirmed our choices, but the real victory was the collaboration; ideas flowing, pride set aside, and creativity amplified through teamwork.
Our efforts paid off: we placed in the top six and earned a special iteration award, turning three intense days into a polished, engaging prototype.

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:

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.
