When talking about times, we use "since" with a point in time (a moment in the past) to say how long we have done something.

"I've known him since I was a child."

"I've lived here since 2004."​

Since + a point in time

media

However, if we want to talk about a period of time (from seconds to centuries) we use "for".

"I've worked here for the last ten years."

"I've been friends with him for my whole life."​

For + a period of time
