To address a caregiving gap, consider using the term “Caregiving Sabbatical” on your resume with a note like, “Dedicated time to family care needs, now fully resolved.” Highlight recent skills, any volunteer work, or relevant coursework completed during this period to show continued growth. Focus on showcasing key achievements and abilities from past roles to strengthen your candidacy.

I would note the gap clearly either in the experience section or a quick note in your opening summary of your career. Many have had to take breaks and I recommend my clients note it in their resume so they don’t get dinged for a gap.
