Like Elaine, I found no part-time employment opportunities and moved into a full-time position. At a point where I had some bargaining power, I negotiated a 4-day work week. I would like my next job to be a 3-day per week position, so I have time for personal business and volunteer work. Kudos to Elaine, for using her entreprenurial skills and going into private practice. If you can't find the right position, create it!
