Fear of dog's

[Anonymous]

I am very scared of dog's. A family wants me to meet for interview. They have two small dogs 12lb and 9lb.
I usually scare from large dogs. But I have little fear from small dogs as well.
Do I have to mention or not.
I think those are small dogs and I am going to be used to with then.
Please need advice
I am really interested in the position
Thanks

All dogs bite. All dogs know if you are afraid of them. Small dogs can be just as bad a big dog. What don't you understand?

If you are okay with small dogs and this job has small dogs, what is confusing you?

Why would you tell the family? Just get over it.

Meet the dogs and see if they scare you.

OP, part of why our nanny got the job was because our dog and the nanny bonded in their first interview. When our daughter was a baby, our nanny and dog used to play together.

I would never EVER have hired a nanny who stiffly tolerated being in the same room as our dog. I wanted a nanny who considered us having a dog as a perk of the job. Who asked if they could take the dog on walks with the baby.

OP, let's say you are fine with these small dogs but when you take them for a walk you run into Great Dane or a German Shepherd and you terrified of both breeds, what ate you going to do?

Are you getting the picture yet?

Right. Except for the day when it's raining in the morning and the dog refuses to go out and so the parents say "It should stop raining by mid-morning so would you please run the dog outside then for 10 minutes?" You're going to say no? You should not take this job.
