Meet Milou

I'm Milou Staub, a Professional Companion based in Cape Town. I provide one-to-one companionship for older adults through thoughtful outings, meaningful conversation and personalised visits.My role is to bring connection, joy and reassurance to everyday moments – while giving families peace of mind that their loved one is in caring, capable and trusted hands.I grew up in Mauritius and have called Cape Town home for over twenty years. Music, hospitality, and media taught me how to listen, connect, and make people feel seen.At some point I realised I wanted my work to matter in a different way. So here we are.

Where It All Began

It began with Eli, my dear friend born in 1929, the same year as Anne Frank. We played backgammon, cards, watched reality TV, took long drives, read books, argued, made up, and shared far too many Woolies mini chocolate mousses. She had outlived three husbands and lived alone in Cape Town, and I slowly realised that our time together was doing something quiet but powerful: it was pushing back against loneliness.When Eli passed away, she left me more than memories. She left me a glimpse of my purpose. It grew from that friendship, from the simple truth that connection matters and that life becomes lighter when someone is willing to sit with you, listen to you, and share moments of a day with you. It is my way of helping others who live alone feel less alone, and reminding them they still have so much life to share.
