Set up nest hub (2nd Gen) with ONLY a child account.

Erinc

I am setting up a nest hub for my daughter (6) at my mom's house while she stays with her temporarily. I want to have it be setup to her Google account, not mine. I don't want my suggestions/data to show, only hers. I am her managing parent and do want to be able to access parental control but make it geared to her with the suggestions/ videos/contacts/alarms/routines/ect.

 

She has no problems with using smart devices and tablets at home, I can walk my mom through and distance troubleshooting but I'd like to be able to add in or edit routines/to-dos for her from states away. I mostly got it for her to be able to video call me, use as an alarm clock, for photos, and to set up morning and bedtime routines.

 

How can I make this work? Is there a way to have 'profiles' and I can lock it into her profile? Google recognizes her voice profile already but she does navigate using the screen where by default as the home manager my stuff is showing up (and I don't necessarily want her to click on and watch my YouTube videos).

As your child is under the applicable age to manage her own account, it's not possible to setup the device with her account. However, once you setup the device, you can add your child's account to it.
