Yes. Alligators and crocodiles are the only reptiles that guard their young after they hatch. However they do not offer any more than protection. Beyond that young alligators must tend to their own needs.

Freshwater crocs will just wait for the eggs to hatch, put the newborns in her mouth, release them into the water and hope for the best.

But saltwater crocs break the eggs open and guard the babies for about 3 months or so.

They don't carry twigs to build a nest. They do gather up a pile of rotting vegetation, such as leaves, and lay there eggs in the pile. The heat released by the decaying plants incubates the eggs.
