I'd say it's much easier to make this happen compared to a few years ago. While there is a culture of working part time where I'm located (Sweden), I've found that being employed and working part time is messier than being a contractor. As a contractor, I just tell my clients in the negotiation phase that "my availability is X hours/days per week" and not one has had any issues with it.
