からすると is an expression combining the conjunction particle から 'from', する 'to do', and either of the hypothetical markers と or ば. It may be translated as 'judging from (A), (B)', or 'considering (A), (B)'. However, the way that する behaves in these types of sentences is quite comparable to expressions like 'going off' in English, in that it just indicates that (A) is the basis from which the speaker is about to make their judgment.
からすると or からすれば will be seen following nouns, before the (B) part of the sentence will highlight the speaker's assessment of (A).
Fun-fact
In almost all cases that する is paired with a hypothetical structure like と, ば, or たら, it indicates that the speaker is 'going with' the assumption of (A) being true, before further expressing what applies based on that assumption.

It’s not done in the example sentences, but if you do something like ”私からすれば”, does it mean “judging from me” or does it take on a nuance of “from my point of view?”

Hey @Yryrdz ! 私からすれば has the nuance of ‘from my point of view’ or ‘Personally, I…’

The correct answer according to the answer sheet was からすると, after confirming with my Japanese teacher, it appears that からすると when directly following a proper noun describing a position like 親, 先生、社長、etc… has the meaning of “From the point of view of” somewhat similar to something like 親上では、親から見ると、or 親にしたら/にすれば.
