Anyone can baptise if the ordinary means of baptism are not available.

So if your great-granddaughter was on her deathbed and and there was no priest or deacon around (the ordinary ministers of the sacrament) then yes you can baptize so long as you use water and say, “I baptize you in the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.”

Otherwise if she is perfectly healthy then she should go through her local parish.
