11-month résumé gap, advice? - 11 months and counting

I took time out to care for a family member after working as a teaching assistant. This is my first time dealing with any of this. I have done some volunteering and a course during that time. How did you handle it on your résumé?

I was hired after a 11-month gap. The manager said the skills test mattered more than the dates.

A short, honest line such as 'family caregiving' is enough for most employers. They mostly want to know you are ready now.
