A superintendent

I have the quote: "Soon after his death, my mother being left in reduced circumstances, she was induced to accept the offer of Mrs. Beresford, an elderly lady of large fortune, to live in her house as her companion, and the superintendent of her family ". Could someone explain to me the meaning of " the superintendent of her family " ?
