Tense problem, don't know which to use?

How would you say these sentences please?

I wouldn't mind you taking care of me while I slept/was sleeping.

Even If I did/have done it, I still want to do it again.

Instead of waiting here/rather than wait/waiting here, wait downstairs

AS or LIKE

- Federer beat Nadal just like/as Hewitt is going to be Murray tomorrow.

Thank you
