Explaining a gap after caregiving or layoff (update)

I took time out to care for a family member after working as a web developer. This is my first time dealing with any of this. I am not sure how much to explain. How did you handle it on your résumé?

Keep your skills fresh and mention anything recent. It shows momentum.

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