She has you home now, but I do not believe that she is certain you will stay. All children around that age suffer some separation anxiety. Just remember to talk to her about what you are doing and where you are going. Perhaps if it is convenient to take her outside with you that may be less stressful to her. Children up to four years old are still determining that they are their own person and that they can in fact can occupy time without constant supervision. Another possibility is if you have a window that she can look out of to see you talking with the neighbor it might reassure her that you are not getting into your car and leaving. It takes a lot of repetition to enforce positive ideas into a child's head, and unfortunately only a couple of times to enforce negative ones. I really hope that this helps, at least on some level.
