Does a baby sitter have exclusive control over who is allowed to enter the child's home?

This exclusive control distinguishes the baby sitter from the overnight guest. By definition the baby sitter and the parent or guardian will not be present in the same house at the same time, other than at the time of the "changing of the guard." ² The normal purpose of babysitting is to free the parent from the child and the house. Thus, the baby sitter who comes to the child's home will likely have, unlike the overnight guest, the exclusive right to "determine who may or may not enter the household." (Minnesota v. Olson, supra, 110 S.Ct. at p. 1689.)
