There are many reasons for having a gap in your resume and it's best, to be honest, and upfront, about the reasons. Gaps are okay to have so long as there is a legitimate reason behind them. Also, show the interviewer that you did not remain dormant during that time. Talk about any courses you took or volunteer work you did.

"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. But during that time I kept up to date on the market so that my knowledge did not become obsolete."
