I have summer youth experience from when I was 15 and 16 yrs old.
One year I worked in a daycare the next year I worked in a driving school (office).
I want to know how can I include that experience in my resume in any place other then work experience?
Its summer youth, I only worked in these places for 2 months. I don't think 2 months of work from 2 jobs looks good on resume especially since I can't explain it to the employer on the resume.
So can get some suggestions?

It depends on how long ago you were 15 or 16 and what type of jobs you are applying for. Why is it critical to list two months of (part-time?) work? It sounds like you are young and have limited work experience. You don't need to worry about a resume--you simply fill out an application. You list a one or two month summer job as a summer job. A temp job is self explanatory.

Exactly. If you're middle aged with a very spotty resumé then listing two summer jobs from donkey's years ago is going to stick out like a sore thumb but if you're just starting out then of course include it. If those jobs were fairly recent would the managers there give you a decent reference? Good luck.

I would leave it off, unless you have had no employment since.

I would only include those jobs if you are applying for something particularly relevant or even a job at Summer Youth itself - and ONLY for the first job out of college. Otherwise, leave off everything from before college in all resumes after college.
