Keep in contact with her (but don't be a bother, either). See how she's doing, talk about your shared interests, ask her how her life is, what did she do over the weekend, ask her for thoughts / advice on something, offer to help with anything (pay attention for clues), etc.

Continue building on the relationship. Remember, the goal is to be her friend, while maintaining the Aunt / Niece hierarchy, so that she will look up to you and want to be like you when she grows up.
