For ERGs

Workshops for caregiver and working-parent ERGs

Caregiver ERGs need programming that gets people in the room and gives them something useful. Tammy builds a series around what your members are actually dealing with.

Making the case to leadership

Nearly one in four U.S. adults is a family caregiver (AARP & National Alliance for Caregiving, 2025), and most of them have jobs. ERG programming on caregiving shows employees the company recognizes the second job many of them do, and gives benefits teams a way to raise awareness of what they already offer.

Questions buyers ask

Our ERG budget is small. Can we start with one session?

Yes. Many ERGs start with one session and expand once attendance proves the need.

Can you talk about specific benefits we offer?

Yes. Share your benefits and the session will connect them to the moments people need them.

Virtual or in person?

Either, and hybrid works well for distributed ERGs.

The books behind the method

Tammy wrote Secrets of the Nanny Whisperer (Penguin) and the Care Map Method™ book series, a structured framework for family care from infancy through the teen years and into eldercare. The same framework is what organizations license, teach, and build programs on.
