Default Infinitive, gerund and bare infinitive right after verbs

Hello!

It is me again. A very important English grammar has come to my mind, which again is not very clear for me when teaching.

Please, write me back which examples are right and which are wrong and why?

- The first thing I will do is find/to find/finding a job for me.
- My aim is find/to find/finding a job for me.
- What I really want is find/to find/finding a job for me.

And last, but not least:
- What we are doing now is help/to help/helping the poor.
- What we have done is help/to help/helping/helped the poor???

I'm looking forward to your reply.
Thank you very much.

Balázs.
