Why do you think that is a positive message? You like me and want me to continue working for you, but either cannot afford raises that will make an actual difference for me, or you are selfishly choosing not to in order to keep up the appearance that you can afford me. I do not want token raises. If it doesn't at least keep up with my rent/transportation cost increases, I would not be able to have the long term relationship you are penny pinching to preserve.

Ok, but if you work for a family for 10 years do you expect a $1/hr raise every year for 10 years?  Because most people will reach the limit of their budget before then.  If you start out making $20/hr do you expect to be making $30/hr after 10 years?  If they max out at $25/hr will you leave and find another job?  If you can continue to find higher paying jobs every time a family maxes out their budget then by all means, move on, but I'd say most nannies won't find that.[/quote]
