What kinds of jobs allow 20 hours/week? I can't remember ever seeing a single software development job (which wasn't contracting) where the employer advertised

  Europe has a much stronger culture of respecting part time work than the US. I was surprised to hear that my parttime friends in Europe had benefits equivalent to their fulltime colleagues.

  There is an entire class of employment in healthcare called "per diem", and everyone who touches a patient can work per diem: doctor to therapy assistant. Probably stems from an admittedly patriarchal system wherein nurses often marry doctors, and suddenly find themselves with healthcare benefits for life, then deciding they don't want to work full time.

  If you want to look for a decent part-time job, I would guess you could look for somewhere that employs a lot of late 20s and 30s women. Alternatively, a company which has employees who work in shifts is likely to already have the infrastructure for people to track their working time and be paid accordingly. The same goes for somewhere where people work on multiple projects for different clients on a payment for time spent basis (you have to know how much you worked for each client in order to bill them). The downside is that you would likely have to fill in a timesheet.
