While not an insect but an arachnid, quite a few Amblypygi species fit the bill.
Primarily in the genus Charinidae - because they are small and slow growing, their broods are small among the group and their babies are relatively large. The mother stays with the brood for a number of weeks.
They also display parental care and limited eusociality.

Yes! I'll look this evening. Charinidae aren't studied very much, but most if not all Amblypygi exhibit the same traits except smaller broods.
