I have two users: one old and another new. Both, my old user and my new user, can run node. But suddenly, with my new user, whenever I enter any command related to node I receive the same error copied below.
/usr/local/lib/node_modules/npm/bin/npm-cli.js:79
let notifier = require('update-notifier')(pkg)
^^^
SyntaxError: Block-scoped declarations (let, const, function, class) not yet supported outside strict mode
at exports.runInThisContext (vm.js:53:16)
at Module._compile (module.js:374:25)
at Object.Module._extensions..js (module.js:417:10)
at Module.load (module.js:344:32)
at Function.Module._load (module.js:301:12)
at Function.Module.runMain (module.js:442:10)
at startup (node.js:136:18)
at node.js:966:3
Please help me guys. And yes, node commands are still working on my old user.

node is the name of the Node.js snap package in all currently supported versions of Ubuntu. For example, to check your node version type:
$ node -v
To get rid of the error message in your question login as your new user and run the following command to enable npm update checking:
sudo chown -R $USER:$(id -gn $USER) /home/your-username/.config
Replace your-username in the above command with your own username.
