Mammoths have a double curve in their tusks. Mastodons have single curved tusks. Mammoths were also bigger

The mastodons belong to the genus Mastodon, family Mastodontidae; the American mastodon is Mastodon americanus. Mammoths belong to the genus Mammuthus, family Elephantoidea.

Here's another difference

What was the difference between a mastodon and a mammoth? Mammoths had teeth with hard ridges for grinding dry vegetation and grazed in open grasslands. Some reached sixteen feet in height and had enormous curved tusks. Mastodons had blunt coned teeth and probably were browsers on softer plants, such as herbs and leaves. They were found mostly in forested and brushy areas.

About $400 a week. Oh wait, that's the difference between a nanny and an au pair.
