Manage at home with lovely nurse coming round (11)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

superintend

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'manage' is the definition.
(I know that manage is a more specific form of administer)

'home with lovely nurse coming round' is the wordplay.
'home' becomes 'in' ('he's home' can mean 'he's in').
'with lovely' becomes 'super' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'nurse' becomes 'tend' (tend can mean to nurse or look after).
'coming round' indicates putting letters inside.
'super'+'tend'='supertend'
'in' placed within 'supertend' is 'SUPERINTEND'.

'at' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for superintend that I've seen before include "Supervise" , "Be responsible for the management of" , "Control, manage" , "monitor" , "Oversee" .)
