Companies and interviewers are being considerate about these things these days.
I myself have interviewed many candidates with experience gaps due to child care or personal/family issues and to be honest those were one of the best candidates that I ever interviewed.
Just remember one thing - keep yourself updated with the latest technologies and QA trends.
When you decide to return back into the arena, come prepared with a bang.
I wish you all the very best!!👍🏻
