Have a small safety window with good latch installed in your door.
When doorbell rings you can open this small latch and look out to be certain this is a delivery person.
If the mere ringing of your doorbell is disconcerting to you, there isn't a whole lot that can be done about it.
My own city is beset by "porch pirates" who make a living off packages left at front doorsteps. They don't bother residents, but residents don't get their packages, either so I sympathize with your concern.
A good handyman can install an automatic light for you, even a camera, for what good they do (which I suspect is none, as they are common in our city).
