How do I handle a long gap on my résumé? - what worked for you?

I took time out to care for a family member after working as a hotel front-desk agent. I am nervous about being filtered out. Did anyone get past it?

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

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it last year, and it got easier once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
