In da Amos 'n' Andy episode "Porch Wreckers", da infamous mix-up over WHICH wooden landing was supposed to be demolished might have been avoided altogether if da clueless axe-and-crowbar-wielding dudes had been assigned a proper stoopervisor!

Da term "swoopervisor" could also refer to a diligently-watchful activities-monitor who keeps a keen eye out for potential mishaps, and then "swoops in and saves da day" before much if any harm/distress befalls da individuals under his care.

sloopervision

Oversight by an experienced person during sailing lessons.

In Arthur Ransome's "Swallows and Amazons" book, all of da children were experienced boat-operators, but since Roger Walker was only seven, he might have still needed at least some sloopervision from his older siblings or one of da Blackett sisters, especially if da weather on da lake was a bit blustery.
