Her parents are her natural guardians. You cannot become your niece's guardian unless both parents' parental rights are terminated voluntarily or involuntarily.
If both parents sign a Temporary Power of Attorney for Our Minor Child, you can enroll you niece in school, take her to the doctor, etc. This is revocable at will.
