Swedish nannies describe encounters with Jeffrey Epstein: “I thought she was his daughter”

Former nannies employed by Swedish-American physician Eva Andersson-Dubin have described unsettling encounters with Jeffrey Epstein at the Dubin family’s residences, Swedish public broadcaster SVT reports. The women, recruited through Swedish newspaper ads for what was presented as a “top job” in Manhattan, say Epstein was a frequent visitor even after his 2008 conviction for sex crimes against minors.

One nanny, who worked for the family in the 2010s, recalled meeting Epstein at the Dubins’ Palm Beach home alongside a young woman she assumed was his daughter. “She was very slim, quiet, small. I couldn’t think of anything else,” the woman told SVT. She later received a warning from a longer-serving staff member to “watch out for him.”

Another former nanny described an incident where Epstein slapped her on the bottom and demanded, “Get me some cookies.” She chose not to report the behavior at the time.

Several nannies, who worked for the Dubins between the 2000s and 2010s, said they were expected to remain unnoticed in the household. “It was a completely different world. Ideally, you wouldn’t be seen or heard,” one woman from the Gothenburg area told SVT.

Andersson-Dubin, a longtime associate of Epstein’s since the 1980s, has faced scrutiny for her ties to him, including public chat and email exchanges confirming their close relationship even after his conviction. She recruited Swedish nannies through ads in Göteborgs-Posten, such as one from 2003 offering a “top job” for a “non-smoking” candidate with “child interest and a cheerful disposition” for a “Swedish-American family on Manhattan.”

In response to SVT’s inquiry, Andersson-Dubin declined an interview. A statement from the Dubin family’s spokesperson asserted she “has never witnessed, suspected, or had any knowledge of Mr. Epstein’s horrific criminal behavior,” including under oath.

SVT’s short documentary, “Epstein and the Swedish Nannies,” further explores the accounts, which add to ongoing investigations into Epstein’s network of enablers.
