There may be many viable and legitimate reasons for gaps in your resume. This offers you an opportunity to provide context and answer those questions in the back of your interviewer's mind. Best to be honest and up front about your reasons.

"I had a gap from 2009-2010 while I was on maternity leave and then another for 6 months in 2015 while I cared for an ailing parent. During that time I was vigilant in keeping up to date on the market so that my knowledge did not become redundant."

"I was laid off in December of 2016 and, due to the recession, found it difficult to land employment for the 8 months following that lay off. Luckily, I received a good severance package from my previous employer. I took the time to travel around east Asia, and I even learned a second language. It was time very well spent."
