A woman in the US has been reunited with a nurse who cared for her as a baby, after using social media to find her.

Amanda Scarpinati was burned after falling onto a steam vaporizer as a three-month-old baby.

She spent years searching for the mystery woman, who turned out to be Sue Berger, after seeing a black and white photograph of the two of them taken in 1977.
