supervise
Direct and monitor
To supervise is to oversee work or workers, ensuring tasks are done properly: She supervises a team of twelve.
The role implies authority and responsibility for outcomes, though not necessarily doing the work yourself.
A supervisor watches, directs, and corrects.
Children may need supervision—adult oversight to keep them safe or on task.
