Hey all

I have a question about my application's work/activities section. My grandmother was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in March 2007 and sadly she passed away in August 2007. I took care of her during this time with the help of my mother and aunts. I don't know if I could put this as one of my work/activities. I spent about 40-50 hours a week at my grandmother’s house and I stayed overnight during her last weeks. I really did everything an in-home caregiver does, but I don't know what I should put as the "experience name" and under what "experience type" category. Please give me some feedback. What should I do and how should I word it?

That seems like something that should be discussed in your personal statement and not listed as an extra cirricular activity
