The discovery of the unaccompanied little girl sparked an urgent appeal from police to help find her family.
Following a frantic search, she was finally reunited with her mother at St Marys police station about midday.
As the pair left the station to go home, the toddler’s mother told 7NEWS she was “relieved” to have her daughter home.
“She gave me a heart attack but she’s alright now, thank God,” she said.
The mother said her daughter was just out the front of their home when she went missing.
She thanked the neighbour who found her daughter for their quick-thinking actions.
“Thank God we had a decent resident ring the police,” she said.
