DOS New Parent Program
According to 16 FAM 317.1(b), DOS authorizes 90 days of TDY per diem–45 days prior to the baby’s estimated due date and 45 days after delivery–for expectant mothers and their EFMs (to include up to 180 days for medical complications).
Depending on family size, locality, and time of year, lodging benefits could exceed $80,000 for only three months!
We not only specialize in providing premium lodging options to government personnel, but curated rental furniture as well…including baby furniture!
Because we work with Foreign Service members every day, we are uniquely qualified to stand at your side during one of the most challenging yet joyous and meaningful seasons of your life.

The Combined New Parent Guide contains over 136 pages of technical details.
Pregnancy is already a lot to manage, so let us sift through these pages instead. We can walk you through how to make the most of your per diem, offer guidelines for reimbursement, and address any other pertinent questions.
REASONS TO WORK WITH US
REGULATORY EXPERTS: We work hard to ensure you stay well within the FAM/H regulatory guidance by routinely examining them for updates, as well as the Combined New Parent Guide’s corresponding implementation. As a result, we have NO FEES THAT YOU GET STUCK PAYING and no charge beyond your vouchered reimbursement.
HANDPICKED LODGING: Think of us as the TDY easy button. Leave the hassle behind! We specialize in location-specific accommodations in your desired area, with the amenities you need to feel at home. With our single billing solution, we simplify your experience so you can focus on what matters most. Let us turn your lodging into a home away from home.
BRAND NEW FURNISHINGS: We purchase brand new items for EVERY client. We GUARANTEE fresh selections, so you’ll never have to worry about your new baby napping in a used pack and play.
UNLIMITED OPTIONS: While we provide tailored packages for convenience, you can pick ANY baby furnishing you’d like delivered straight to your door. And we’ll assemble it!
SIMPLIFIED: Most overseas mothers don’t have the bandwidth or desire to calculate their max per diem allocation according to complexities like locality, accompanying EFMs, and seasonal rate changes. So we do the math for you!
NO NON-REIMBURSABLE EXPENSES: Other lodging options charge “cleaning” or “service” fees, which are often non-reimbursable. This means you get stuck footing the bill. Not on our watch! We ensure you are never left paying out of your own pocket for costs that shouldn’t be your responsibility.
PET FRIENDLY: We love pets as much as you do! They’re allowed on all furniture just like you are, so snuggle those sweethearts and let them be a part of the family, just as they should be.
WE’RE ON YOUR TEAM: Your point of contact for our OB Medevac program has direct, firsthand experience herself, having personally medevaced for her own baby. You’ll receive sound advice and support from someone who truly understands the process.
