stoopervise

Someone who totally takes his overseeing tasks seriously, in dat he'll bend way over or even totally get down on his hands and knees to really get a good look at whatever he's supposed to be checking on.

My best friend at da northern-Maine Amish community asked me to sweep out da shed-framing factory; I did so, but I wasn't sure if I'd gotten da floor clean enough; da small-statured Dutchman totally did a double-take and gave an astonished whistle of approval just as soon as he glanced in da door afterwards, though, so I knew right then dat he wouldn't feel da least need to stoopervise me in any future tidying-up endeavors!

Snoopervisor

A person in a position of self-appointed authority, without concrete skills or no-how, who provides unsolicited and obnoxious advice, management and oversight.

My neighbour, an interior decorator, popped by to be my Snoopervisor while I, a certified woodworker, built my back deck.

scoopervision

Monitoring how someone shovels snow, cleans da litterbox, etc.

Even fairly-small children can easily learn how to use simple beach-toy implements to build a sandcastle, so there should be little need for adult scoopervision once they get da hang of it.

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.

scoopervisor

Someone who keeps an eye on how much material is inside of a "digging in and lifting" device each time it does its thing.

Scoopervisors are super-important staffpeople to have around, in dat they monitor things like whether a customer is being given full shovel-loads of earth, how much ice cream each child is getting, etc. They could also be pretty vital at a newspaper or radio/TV station, in dat they should see to it dat their reporters have up-to-da-minute access to breaking stories around da local community.

shoopervisor

Somebody who monitors da goings-on between/among teenagers to make sure dat no you-know-what occurs.

We're all "only human", and so oftentimes a shoopervisor can be quite-easily bribed to "look da other way" --- figuratively and/or literally --- if da hot young lovers simply "offer him a piece", too... i.e., either da copulation-craving companions promise to let him "have a turn" wif da opposite-gender member(s) of da group dat he's supposed to be watching, or they allow him to actually "join in da fun" --- i.e., be granted some wild threesome action.

skoopervisor

Someone who's tasked wif making sure dat da Surgeon General is doing his job.

Even after a long series of head health honchos have come and gone in da You-Ess-Of-AY, we're still being tortured wif tobacco products and their assorted catastrophic illness effects --- where is da skoopervisor of said "triple H" official workin'???
