"I have a granddaughter, I cannot believe it," Saint Pierre's mother told NBC6. "It's my first granddaughter."
The mother and baby were taken to a NYC hospital, where they were said to be resting and doing well.
Saint Pierre's sister Stephania told NBC New York she hasn't spoken with her sister but had been in contact with officials from the hospital.
She said her sister doesn't have any family in New York and she's not sure how she ended up there but is overjoyed that she was found safe.
"She's a really strong baby," she said. "She came out a warrior, very strong, very resilient, I didn't hear her cry much in the videos, just a miracle baby girl."
Stephania Saint Pierre said she and their mother were heading to New York Friday with the goal of bringing her sister and the baby back to South Florida.
