You first have to authorize a power of attorney form, then make them sign as the 'Principal' and you should sign as the 'Attorney-in-Fact'
If your parent is competent their grant of a Power of Attorney must be voluntary. They must execute a Durable Power of Attorney document that names you as their attorney in fact. You and your parents should consult with an attorney who can review the situation and advise you of your options and the consequences of executing a power of attorney.
If your parent is not legally competent then you must petition the court to be appointed their legal guardian.

There are a couple of forms a parent can complete for this. There is a Child Medical Care Authorization Form or a Child Care Limited Power of Attorney (includes medical). A Child Care Limited Power of Attorney is a document signed and notarized by a parent giving a non-parent authority to make decisions for a minor child. It is not a court order. It is typically used by a parent who is unavailable for a period of time and wants to grant authority to another person over their child.

If you have power of attorney over a baby can you sign that power over to someone else?
No. Generally, a parent executes a power of attorney in order to give another adult the authority to make decisions for their child for only a short period such as when the child will be in the care of someone else as during a vacation. The person to whom the parent has given that power of attorney cannot assign it to someone else. The reason is that the person to whom the power of attorney was given does not have the right to give someone else authority over the child. That right is the exclusive right of the parent. For any extended period a temporary guardianship would be necessary and that must be done through the court system. You should always consult an attorney regarding such important legal matters.

Can you grant your sister a power of attorney over you?
For power of attorney over whom? A parent, I presume. The short answer is that you can challenge anyone for anything you want. The long answer is that if the parent in question specifically named your sister as POA while that parent was of sound mind and that parent is still competent and mentally sound and your sister is carrying out her duties as POA properly, then you probably will lose. You'll only win if you can either show to the court that your sister persuaded the parent to sign the POA over to her while the parent was of unsound mind (thus nullifying the POA) or if you can show to the court that your sister is not acting prudently as a POA. By acting prudently, I mean that she's not properly attending to the legal affairs or medical needs of the parent, spending the parent's money in an improper manner, that sort of thing. The law on this differs from state to state, so I can't be any more specific without knowing where you are.
