Can't decide between 2 job offers

I've been going to interviews and on the same day I've received 2 job offers. I'm having trouble deciding between them. I have anxiety which I hide well, had it years and I now accept it's just part of who I am.

First job is 2 and a half days a week in an office dealing with enquiries. I get a 4 day weekend. This appeals to me as it's easier for childcare in the holidays. and hours are 9-5 2 days then a 9-2. I'm nervous about it as I've never done office work and I worry I will struggle with sitting in front of a computer all day, not being able to move about. It's 19 hrs a week.

Second job is a team leader in a delivery hub looking after a small team of 5 people. This appeals as I've studied management, it pays slightly more and I enjoy the moving around the work environment, not stuck looking at a computer, it's a new company so we are all new and they offer a good benefits package plus the opportunity to work more hours. The shifts are shorter than job 1, which I do prefer as with my anxiety I like to know there's an end in sight. I'm nervous as I've never been responsible for other people and I'm scared that if I can't get the team to meet the targets then I will get into trouble. The shifts can be anytime between 7am and 7pm, working 4 days a week with 3 days off, but never together so like of a day in a day, off a day, in 2 days.... It's 22 hrs a week

I'm scared of making the wrong decision. I wish job 2 wasn't the team leader position. I applied to just be a colleague but they offered me team leader instead.
