Termites of genus Mastotermes are amongst the closest to cockroaches (from which termites are derived from ) and even lack workers in their colonies. The tasks to be done by workers are instead accomplished by older nymphs.

On the other side of the cockroach/termite boundary there is Cryptocercus, the parents caring for their offspring until death. I should also note that the male cockroach has a pheromone gland on his back that the female licks during mating, since that sounds hot.
