I believe the answer is:

babysit

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'to look after young one?' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'is tabby excited' is the wordplay.
'excited' is an anagram indicator.
'is'+'tabby'='istabby'
'istabby' anagrammed gives 'BABYSIT'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for babysit that I've seen before include "Tend to kid" , "Look after children temporarily" , "Supervise in loco parentis" , "Mind" , "Take charge to allow parents to go out" .)
