The Female Caretaker should have been featured in the series finale. What I would have liked to see is throughout the last season the Voyager keeps on getting information from either the locals or from their own readings about the Female Caretaker having been in the space the Voyager is traveling in sometime in the past (like three weeks or a month, etc.). Janeway and company continue on their journey heading home but are also on the trail of the Female Caretaker to try to see if she can send them home. Janeway and her crew think since they haven't had any encounters with her since season 2 that maybe she has had a change of heart.
The series finale could have had the Voyager catching up with the Female Caretaker but are horrified to see the Caretaker being overrun by the Borg (I also would have made this season where the Voyager crew hasn't heard anything from the Borg all year either until now.) The crew help the Caretaker (perhaps defeating the Borg for good) and the she realizes the Voyager crew were never a threat or harmful to her after years of traveling. She sends Janeway and company home finally as an act of kindness for helping her defeat the Borg.
The ending could have been the crew back on Earth in civilian clothes at their welcome back party, then Janeway and the rest of the senior staff, holding glasses of wine, give a toast to each other and are looking out in the sky at the stars.
