I did not have the time either, I simply hired someone with the credentials to teach, and the firm understanding of what I would and would not accept. I live in Las Vegas as well and the rules on homeschooling are simple. Turn in the paperwork to the school system stating you wish to homeschool, and thats it. Get whatever cirriculum you wish to use and make sure that when hiring a teacher you are firm with them on what will and wont be accepted. The great thing here is that you do not have to put your child through any state testing to make sure they are up to date. Our teacher is here 3 hours a day or so, and the kids have maybe an hour of homework a night. Standard rate for tutoring as they call it is 30 an hour. Its doable if you really want to do it and so worth it.
