En español utilizamos el presente simple en estas situaciones ( algo que empezó en el pasado y continúa en el presente). For: desde hace Since: desde Entonces, tus frases serían: (Yo) trabajo aquí desde hace cinco años. (Yo) trabajo aquí desde mi infancia. Otros ejemplos: I have had this mobile since February. Tengo este móvil desde febrero. I have had this car for two years. Tengo este coche desde hace dos años.

For = por --> indicates a period of time:

I've worked here for 5 years.

He trabajado aquí por 5 años.

Note: "He" isn't the English third person masculine pronoun, rather, it indicates the Spanish first person singular past participle (EN: I have verb + -ed = ES: He verbo + -ado)

Since = desde --> indicates a period of time starting at a fixed point but which goes the present time:

I've worked here since my childhood.

He trabajado aquí desde mi infancia.
