We paid an Independent Contractor for some odd jobs around the house.  We have a business, but his work was not business related.  The 1099-NEC form asks for a business and an EIN, which we have.  But, since the work was for us personally, should we use our EIN or SS# as Payer?

Neither, if you were not paying the "contractor" for business services, you are not required to and should not file a 1099-NEC at all.
