Try using the SwitchMe app described in the article. I use it to share my Nexus 7 with my wife. It requires root, but you have a Nexus tablet, it's made to be rooted. It also requires a reboot to switch users, but the Nexus 7 is fast enough it isn't much of a problem.

Hopefully the next Android release will complete the built in account switching.

This is definitely coming up: http://phandroid.com/2012/08/02/androids-multiple-user-accou...

Although, that means a 6 month wait at best :-(
