Turn placements into care that lasts

Any agency can fill a role. The agencies that keep clients are the ones whose placements survive month three — and that's a systems problem, not a recruiting problem.

Where placements break down

Most failed placements aren't caused by a bad caregiver. They're caused by a match made on logistics rather than needs, an onboarding that never set expectations, and no structure for handling the first real conflict. The family blames the caregiver, the caregiver blames the family, and the agency absorbs the replacement cost.

Twenty years of hiring, training, and repairing these relationships — plus a Penguin-published book on exactly this — goes into fixing that system.

What agency engagements include

Screening and vetting standards that hold up to scrutiny
The Care Map matching framework — needs-based, not résumé-based
Structured onboarding so placements survive the first month
Conflict and quality protocols for when things go sideways
Caregiver training curriculum you can deliver or license
Clinical credibility your competitors can't claim in sales conversations

Consulting or licensing

Some agencies want a project: rebuild the screening and onboarding system, train the team, hand it over. Others want to license the Care Map Method™ and run it as their own branded process, with ongoing clinical backing.

Both start the same way — a look at where your placements are actually failing.

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.
