SittingAround.com, a Boston-based social network that connects parents with able and qualified babysitters, is giving a free Square dongle — the plug-and-play swipe-card reader that facilitates easy P2P payments via smartphone — to babysitters who sign up to be members of the network. That will allow parents to pay their sitters with credit or debit cards rather than cash.
Nothing puts a pinch on date night quite like the hunt for an ATM (and then a convenience store in order to break a $20), and babysitters who can accept cards are able to offer their clients more flexibility.
