Jobs for a 6 year old?

Hi everyone,
My 6 year old has asked for jobs around the house to earn money. I'm so pleased he's understanding he needs to earn treats and money but I have no idea what to pay, how many jobs to do to earn money, which jobs are worth doing and looking on line it's a minefield! One website suggested paying children their age each week, another suggested prices per job.
Please help!!! I'm one confused mamma!

Just give him a quid a time to do simple things like sweep a floor, empty the tumble dryer into a basket, separate into piles for daddy, mummy, etc and develop this into fold it up/ put away, or clean/clear the dining table after meals and help him learn if he gets it very wrong but don’t expect perfection. One little job a day is good at this age.
