Returning to work after caring for family - 8 months and counting

I used to work as a hotel front-desk agent and I am looking for a part-time role to start. There are 17 people counting on me, so I am trying to be careful. I am unsure how to describe the break.

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