I think he may have mentioned his friends thoughts on the matter as a way to steer you away from asking for a raise. Have you received a raise at your year mark? A review? There are plenty of nice families out there who know your worth. have a meeting and figure out how much they actually value your services.
But seeing as you are considering higher paying positions out of state, maybe you are ready to move on. You may like them but it doesn't sound like your heartbroken about leaving.
OP Here: I didn't receive a raise but I don't know if my one year was "technically" my one year in their eyes. I started as a night nanny for them when the twins were 6 weeks old and I did that for 3 months (March-June) and then started full-time in June for them. We have a work agreement and that is dated as of my first full day in June. However, at the beginning of the month when it was my actual first day I ever worked for them, I mentioned it to MB casually and she was like "oh wow!" and that's it. With that said though, I really don't expect a raise from them after the conversation I had with DB and I think that is what is also making me consider getting another job. This is my career and while I know you aren't entitled to a raise, we have NEVER had any issues, I've always gone above and beyond and put in so much effort and am starting to realize that I could find a better position.
