I took time out to care for a family member after working as a dental hygienist. There are 12 people counting on me, so I am trying to be careful. I am not sure how much to explain. How did you handle it on your résumé?

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